Fortaleza

DLDLLL 📉

Fortaleza will be hoping to bounce back here following a 5-0 Serie A losing effort in their last game against Flamengo.

In that game, Fortaleza managed 35% possession and 11 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. At the other end, Flamengo got 16 shots on goal with 13 of them 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

After a loss in their previous game against Botafogo in Serie A competition, Santos and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that match, Santos had 36% possession and 17 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Botafogo got 12 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Artur (86') scored 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 unavailable for Fortaleza manager Juan Vojvoda.

In all likelihood, Fortaleza should use a 4-3-3 system for this game with João Ricardo, Tinga, Benjamin Kuscevic, Gustavo Mancha, Bruno Pacheco, Ze Welison, Emmanuel Martinez, Tomas Pochettino, Marinho, Juan Martin Lucero and Breno Lopes.

ℹ️ Team News: Santos

Santos boss Cléber Xavier has multiple availability issues to deal with. Yeferson Soteldo (Hamstring muscle injury) and Aderlan (Hamstring injury) are not able to play.

We reckon that Peixe appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for 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.
