Only a win will satisfy the home supporters in this Estádio Urbano Caldeira clash with Fortaleza, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Serie A table.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

It's quite the trip for Fortaleza when visiting Santos as the cities are 3100 kilometers apart.
