Fortaleza

DLDLLL 📉

Fortaleza won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 5-0 Serie A defeat last time out to Flamengo.

In that game, Fortaleza had 35% possession and 11 shots on goal with 3 on target. For their opponents, Flamengo got 16 shots at goal with 13 on target. Giorgian de Arrascaeta (30'), Evertton Araújo (48'), Luiz Araújo (56', 74') and Michael (71') scored for Flamengo.

A common theme in more recent Fortaleza games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.

From their prior six clashes before this one, in 5 of them a wager on "Both Teams to Score" would have lost. Nevertheless, we will just have to wait and see if that trend will be maintained in this next game or not.

Ahead of this clash, Fortaleza have not been beaten in the league by Santos in their previous 4 games.

Santos

Since tasting defeat last time out to Botafogo in Serie A action, Santos and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that match, Santos had 36% possession and 17 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Botafogo got 12 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Artur (86') was the scorer for Botafogo.

It is worth noting that Santos have been starved of goals over their previous six encounters, contributing the disappointing return of just 1. In those fixtures, Peixe have also seen the overall goal tally of opposing teams equal 3.

ℹ️ Team News: Fortaleza

Moisés (Thigh problems) and Lucas Sasha (Forearm fracture) are not available for Fortaleza manager Juan Vojvoda.

We are thinking that Fortaleza could line up in a 4-3-3 formation this time, utilising João Ricardo, Tinga, Benjamin Kuscevic, Gustavo Mancha, Bruno Pacheco, Ze Welison, Emmanuel Martinez, Tomas Pochettino, Marinho, Juan Martin Lucero and Breno Lopes.

📋 Team News: Santos

Santos boss Cléber Xavier has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Yeferson Soteldo (Hamstring muscle injury) and Aderlan (Hamstring injury) are not ready for selection.

We are inclined to think that Peixe seem likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Gabriel Brazão, João Souza, Zé Ivaldo, Luan Peres, Gonzalo Escobar, Tomas Rincon, Zé Rafael, Alvaro Barreal, Benjamín Rollheiser, Guilherme Augusto and Deivid Washington.

🧠 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Santos will need to apply a lot of pressure to see themselves scoring against this Fortaleza team who we reckon will get the vital goal that wins it.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very even contest with a 1-0 win for Fortaleza at the conclusion of the game.
