Santos vs Fortaleza is one of the games that will mark the end of the demanding Brazilian soccer season, in the run-up to the Qatar 2020 World Cup. This Brasileirão tournament has already crowned Palmeiras as the fair champion, and it keeps all the fans on the edge of their seats to find out who will be the teams that will compete for the continental trophies in 2023.
Of the eight places allocated for the Copa Libertadores, two will have to go through the playoffs. It is for that reason that Fortaleza, currently in the Sudamericana qualification zone, could be able to secure a place in the biggest club tournament in South America with a win.

Santos preview
The legendary Santos, the second-best winner in the Brazilian league in history, hasn’t been a playing a major role at federal level for a long time. Its last title was achieved in 2004, too long ago. The team coached by Orlando Ribeiro arrives to this last date in 12th place, with 47 points, which is still enough to qualify for next year’s Copa Sudamericana.
On the positive side, the team has found a great striker in 19-year-old Marcos Leonardo, who contributed with 13 of the 44 goals in the campaign. The team is coming from a 3-0 defeat against Botafogo, a match in which it lost Camacho due to injury.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Joao Paulo; Nathan, Maicon, Eduardo, Lucas Pires; Sandry, Rodrigo Fernandez; Angelo, Luan, Gabriel Carabajal; Marcos Leonardo.
Fortaleza’s preview
Fortaleza is one of the revelation teams of the last few years, and in spite of a very bad start to the tournament, they are finishing it with a good image and a good chance of reaching the Copa Libertadores. The team, coached by the Argentine Juan Pablo Vojvoda, must win and hope that one of the teams above them loses: Botafogo, Atlético Mineiro or Paranaense. It arrives with their confidence high after having defeated Bragantino 6-0.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Fernando Miguel; Tinga, Emanuel Brítez, Titi, Juninho Capixaba; José Wilson, Caio Alexandre; Hércules, Romarinho, Pedro Rocha; Silvio Romero.
