Comments and predictions for Racing Club vs Fortaleza: Home team makes the decisive move

Latest Racing Club vs Fortaleza team information

Racing coach Costas has almost full squad, except for striker Maximiliano Salas who is still doubtful.

If Salas does not recover in time, Ramiro Degregorio and Santiago Solari will likely support behind striker Adrian Martinez - who just scored a double in the last match.

Racing also have fitness concerns over left-back Augustin Garcia Basso and midfielder Bruno Zuculini – both of whom could miss out.

On Fortaleza's side, midfielder Lucas Sasha has missed the last two matches and his ability to play in the final round of the group stage is still uncertain.

If he does not recover in time, coach Vojvoda will likely deploy the trio of Pol Fernandez, Ze Welison and Emmanuel Martinez in midfield.

Elsewhere, Pedro Augusto – who was sent off after coming off the bench against Cruzeiro – could still be used in the midweek Libertadores clash.

Latest football commentary Racing Club vs Fortaleza

Coach Gustavo Costas and Racing Club are in impressive form, winning 6 of their last 8 matches, drawing 1 and losing only 1 match in both domestic and continental competitions.

In their most recent outing on May 15, La Academia took all three points with a 4-0 win over Colo Colo in the Copa Libertadores. Adrian Martinez scored twice in the first half, while Santiago Solari and Adrian Balboa added two more in the second half.

This was Racing's third win in Group E, helping them qualify for the next round and maintain their top spot with 10 points - 2 points more than this week's opponents.

Aiming to finish the group stage as toppers, the home team can be confident having won 3 of their last 5 matches at Estadio Presidente Peron, and kept a clean sheet in all 3 of those victories.

However, not playing for two weeks could leave Racing behind compared to their opponents – who have maintained regular competition in the Brazilian National Championship (Brasileirão).

Meanwhile, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda and Fortaleza are having a tough time in 2025. They have won just two of their last 13 games and lost three in a row before arriving in Argentina, making them wary of the final match of Group E.

On Monday, Fortaleza were knocked out of the Brazilian Cup on penalties, then lost 2-0 to Cruzeiro – a result that left them just one point above the relegation zone in the Brasileirão.

However, the Brazilian team's performance at Libertadores is more positive with a 4-match unbeaten streak (2 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss), temporarily ranking second in Group E.

However, they are only two points ahead of Atletico Bucaramanga, so a defeat could see them miss out on qualification. However, with just two defeats in their last nine away games (one win, six draws), fans are still hopeful.

A win for Fortaleza would see them go top of the table, but a draw would be enough to keep them in second place, thanks to their superior goal difference (seven goals ahead of Bucaramanga).
