Santos visits Ceará this Sunday for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match kicks off at Arena Castelão in Fortaleza (CE) at 8:30 PM (Brasília time).
Santos has not lost in five games (four draws and one win), but was left with a bitter taste after a 1-1 draw with Grêmio last Wednesday at Vila Belmiro. The São Paulo club saw the gap to Vitória, the first team in the relegation zone, narrow.
The Peixe entered the round in 16th place, with 28 points, three more than Leão.
Ceará is coming off a 1-0 away defeat to Vitória. In the last seven matches, the club has only one win, against São Paulo, at Morumbi, by 1-0.
Vozão is in 11th place in the Brasileirão, with 31 points.
Throughout history, there have been 24 matches, with 10 wins for Santos, five for Ceará, and nine draws. Santos has scored 24 goals and Ceará 18.
The last encounter was on May 12, 2025, for the first round of the Brasileirão. On that occasion, the teams drew 0-0 at Allianz Parque.
