With both teams seeking to end their three-game winless runs, Fortaleza and America Mineiro will square off at the Arena Castelao on Sunday.
The hosts, who are rooted to the bottom of the Brasileiro Serie A standings, will seek to pick up their first home win of the season.
Fortaleza failed to find their feet last time out, as they fell to a slender 3-2 defeat away at Avai.
They have now lost three games, managing just one win from their last six across competitions. With seven points from 12 games, Fortaleza are seven points away from safety.
Meanwhile, America Mineiro snapped their two-game losing streak last time out in a goalless draw with Fluminense.
While they will look to return to winning ways, they head into the weekend winless in five away games, claiming two draws and three defeats. With 15 points from 12 games, Mineiro are 13th in the league standings but could rise as high as seventh place with all three points on Sunday.
