Vila Nova Recent Form
| Match | Date | Competition | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Criciúma 2-0 Vila Nova FC | 2026-07-18 | Brasileirão Série B | 2-0 |
| Juventude 1-0 Vila Nova FC | 2026-07-10 | Brasileirão Série B | 1-0 |
| Vila Nova FC 2-1 São Bernardo | 2026-07-06 | Brasileirão Série B | 2-1 |
| Grêmio Novorizontino 2-1 Vila Nova FC | 2026-06-26 | Brasileirão Série B | 2-1 |
| Vila Nova FC 4-3 Náutico | 2026-06-20 | Brasileirão Série B | 4-3 |
Two wins and three defeats, seven scored and nine conceded. Home wins over São Bernardo and Náutico keep OBA live, but losses at Criciúma, Juventude and Novorizontino show how quickly Vila Nova concede control on the road and sometimes at home. Dellatorre remains the finishing reference.
Fortaleza Recent Form
| Match | Date | Competition | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fortaleza 1-0 Grêmio Novorizontino | 2026-07-18 | Brasileirão Série B | 1-0 |
| Atlético Goianiense 1-0 Fortaleza | 2026-07-12 | Brasileirão Série B | 1-0 |
| Fortaleza 2-0 Ponte Preta | 2026-07-03 | Brasileirão Série B | 2-0 |
| Fortaleza 2-1 Sport Recife | 2026-06-28 | Brasileirão Série B | 2-1 |
| Clube De Regatas Brasil 1-1 Fortaleza | 2026-06-21 | Brasileirão Série B | 1-1 |
Three wins, one draw and one defeat, six scored and three conceded. The only loss is the 1-0 at Atlético-GO. Wins over Novorizontino, Ponte Preta and Sport, plus a draw at CRB, give Fortaleza the more stable league baseline. Miritello and Luiz Fernando provide the away threat if Vila Nova’s full-backs push without cover.

Vila Nova vs Fortaleza Prediction
Vila Nova bring 2-0-3 form and nine goals conceded in five. Fortaleza answer with 3-1-1 and a 6-3 cut. Admittedly, OBA can still force a favourite deep. Even so, the cleaner reading follows Fortaleza’s sturdier league baseline.
That supports an away win prediction. Readers can park the away lean inside a cautious sure 2 odds structure.
