Fortaleza vs Santos Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the Brazil Serie A on Sunday, 13 August 2023.
Santos had an unimpressive start to the campaign. The team maintains the same till now, recording four wins, six draws and eight defeats in 18 matches. Do also note that they were winless in the last four league matches.
They will be facing Fortaleza this Sunday. Going on, Fortaleza won six, drew five and lost seven of their 18 league fixtures to sit at 13th, five spots away from Santos in the standings.
Fortaleza was unbeaten in seven of the last eight head to head clashes against Santos. Their latest meeting ended in a 0-2 win for Fortaleza.
The last six consecutive meetings had goals under 2.5 ft. Fortaleza have a 100% unbeaten record against Santos at this stadium.
Fortaleza have an unimpressive form at home of late. They have lost the past two home matches in a row. It is worth noting that they had an eight match unbeaten streak in the league matches at home before losing those two matches.
Meanwhile, Santos follows a winless run on the road. They lost six of their last seven road trips. Since Fortaleza have an upper hand in the recent tradition, we expect a win for Fortaleza on Sunday.
Three of the last four road trips of Santos and three of the last four home matches of Fortaleza had goals under 2.5 ft. Moreover, their recent clashes were low-scoring. Thus, expect an under 2.5 goal on Sunday.
We expect this match to be a one-sided affair. Santos failed to score in two of the last three clashes at this stadium. Knowing that four of the last seven league home matches of Fortaleza were clean sheets, we expect a one-sided match on Sunday.
Fortaleza are likely to seal a win on Sunday considering all these observations. An unimpressive Santos will add more to the chances for Fortaleza here.
We therefore like to place Fortaleza to win bet at 1.60 odds as the main tip. For the second tip, we like to place the under 2.5 goals bet at 1.67 odds.
