For Fortaleza, A. Arroyo leads the way with 9 goals in 19 matches. One name worth flagging is J. Solís, who's picked up two red cards in just nine appearances, which hints at a disciplinary edge to his game.

Solís's card record is worth keeping an eye on if Fortaleza need to see out a tight scoreline.

How This Might Play Out

America's home form suggests goals, with 39 scored in 20 matches, and Fortaleza's away defence has shipped 27 in the same span. On the numbers alone, that points to America finding the net.

But Fortaleza's tendency to draw rather than lose outright, 11 times in 20 away games, means they might not go down easily even if they're second best for long spells.
