Santos, Recent FormSantos boss Marcelo Fernandes will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 3-0 away mauling from Athletico Paranaense. They came away from that fixture with 46% of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Athletico Paranaense managed 12 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
Having conceded 7 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 6 points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have conceded a goal in 13 of their 18 games at home this season.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Fortaleza, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 home win over Goias in their last league game, Fortaleza will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they recorded 46 % of the possession, with 6 attempts on goal, 1 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 5 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Yago Pikachu will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Fortaleza.
After a good 4-0 win for Fortaleza in this pair's last league encounter, Santos will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league, Santos have been unable to break through Leão do Pici's defence and find the back of the net. Playing at home, Santos have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Fortaleza.
Santos have lost the last 2 times they've faced Fortaleza in the league and have failed to win in their last 3 encounters.
With both Felipe Jonatan (Cruciate ligament) and Sandry Santos Goes (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Alex de Oliveira (Broken ankle), Luan Dias (Muscle) and Alison Lopes Ferreira (Knee) all unavailable in the shorter term, Santos manager Marcelo Fernandes will be hoping none of his other players pick up a knock going into this clash.
With Hércules Pereira do Nascimento (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Vinícius Zanocelo (Groin) also unavailable in the shorter term, Fortaleza manager Juan Pablo Vojvoda will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
