Matchday 12 in the Brasileiro Serie A sees two underperforming sides face off as 17th-place Fortaleza hosts 18th-placed Santos. Who will come out on top in an early season relegation six-pointer between Leao do Pici and Peixe? Read on for our match prediction!
After achieving their record-high points total in the 2024 campaign, Fortaleza have not been able to match that same intensity in 2025. Naturally, having to juggle the Copa Libertadores means that their domestic results have suffered. To Fortaleza’s credit, they managed to advance to the knockout stages of the Copa with a second-place group finish.
Now they’ll turn their focus back to the league where they find themselves trailing safety solely on goal differential. Fortaleza suffered a heavy 5-0 away loss at the hands of Flamengo at the beginning of June, a result which marked the team’s fifth consecutive defeat across all competitions.
It's been a slow start for Santos after winning promotion from the Serie B last season. With a 2-2-7 record from their first 11 matches, the eight-time Brasileiro winners are now two points behind 16th-placed Vitoria.
The visitors suffered a heartbreaking 1-0 home loss to Botafogo in their last outing. Santos were reduced to 10-men and would concede the eventual goal just four minutes from the full-time whistle. They’ve now managed just a single win in their last 10 competitive fixtures.

Our Fortaleza vs Santos Prediction
Goals have been hard to come by for both teams ahead of Thursday's match. For Fortaleza, they're coming off a five-goal beatdown at the hands of Flamengo and will surely be focusing on a more sound defensive effort this time around.
Santos have not traveled well in the still-young season and have already racked up five losses in six away league trips. With the visitors' attack not firing either, there's a good possibility that one of these teams fails to find the net. Therefore, our Fortaleza vs Santos prediction is both teams to score: No.
