Match preview: Fortaleza vs Santos

Fortaleza and Santos meet at the Olympic Stadium Horácio Domingos de Sousa in a match that forms part of the 12th round of the Brazileirão Serie A. Historical head-to-head encounters at this venue favour the home side, with the last three matches resulting in one win for Fortaleza and two draws. Nonetheless, the most recent clash here, during a friendly, ended in a stalemate. The home advantage could prove pivotal, particularly given Santos’ inconsistent performances whether at home or on the road.

Team analysis: Fortaleza

Currently sitting in 17th position with just 10 points, Fortaleza has accrued a record of 2 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses. Their last outing resulted in a heavy defeat to Flamengo (5-0), while they also lost at home to Cruzeiro (0-2). The home side has shown little advantage from playing at their own ground, recording similar results at home and away — over their last 30 matches, they have 2 wins, 7 draws, and 6 losses as visitors, scoring 10 goals and conceding 19, compared to 5 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses at home, with 20 goals scored and 14 conceded. In their last five matches at home in the league, Fortaleza has managed to earn 7 points from a possible 15, with a tendency to concede first, having done so 5 times without coming back to win.

Desperate to avoid relegation, Fortaleza’s defensive frailties have compounded their struggles, having let in 15 goals, making securing crucial points increasingly difficult. With only 10 goals scored over 11 fixtures, they need an urgent turnaround following their last thrashing against Flamengo. Playing on home soil, Fortaleza must aim to assert themselves to find better defensive balance and capitalise on any attacking opportunities to secure a vital victory.

Team analysis: Santos

Santos finds themselves in a precarious position, sitting second from bottom with just 8 points, following a record of 2 wins, 2 draws, and 7 losses. They recently lost to Botafogo (0-1) at home, after a prior victory against Vitória (0-1) away. Santos have been notably affected by the home factor, struggling as visitors with only 2 wins, 3 draws, and 10 losses in their last 30 matches, scoring a mere 12 goals and conceding 19. However, in their home matches, they have done better with 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses, scoring 22 goals and conceding 17. In the league, they have collected just 3 points from a possible 18, having failed to maintain defensive solidity, allowing goals in 7 of their last 10 matches. In 11 league games, they have never managed to come back after conceding the first goal in 7 of those matches. A notable trend in their last 20 away fixtures across all competitions is that they netted 7 of their 20 goals within the moments (31’–45′).

Santos must address their defensive issues as they enter this match against Fortaleza, aiming to improve their defensive transitions and exploit any gaps left by the opposition. With both teams in desperate need of points, it could be a critical match for their survival hopes.
