where to watch, times and lineups

Santos x Fortaleza face each other this Wednesday (6), at 9:30 pm, in Vila Belmiro, in Santos, for the 38th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is broadcast exclusively from Premiere.

How Santos x Fortaleza arrive

O Santos lost to Athletico in the last round of the Brazilian Championship, 3-0, which put the team in a delicate situation for this last round. To guarantee themselves in Series A, Peixe needs to win, but if the game ends in a draw, the only hope would be that neither Vasco nor Bahia win their duels. If Marcelo Fernandes’ team suffers a defeat at Vila Belmiro, to avoid falling into Series B, the team would need to count on a draw or defeat for Bahia, and for Vasco to also lose.

Competing for the last place in the Copa Sudamericana, Santos (15th) needs to overcome Cruzeiro, who is one position above (14th), with a three-point advantage. Joaquim and Rodrigo Fernández, suspended for a third yellow card, are left out of the next clash.

Already the Strength is in a much more comfortable situation than its opponent, as it is free from relegation, occupying 10th place, with 51 points, without being defeated in four consecutive matches, having faced the already relegated Goiás and won 1-0 at home. Furthermore, Tricolor is also already qualified for the 2024 Copa Sudamericana.

Thiago Galhardo will be absent for having received a third yellow card, as well as Hércules, who is injured.
