Santos lost 1-0 to Grêmio in Porto Alegre and hasn't won in four games, one of them in the Copa do Brasil. Cristian Olivera scored the goal for the Gaúchos in the 77th minute. The match was tight with no great opportunities to score, but Grêmio was more effective. Cléber Xavier took charge of the team two games ago, but there has been no improvement so far. The Fish has had three managers in seven league rounds, and it's hard to succeed without stability. Santos is going through troubled times and needs wins urgently, or Xavier won't be in place for long. It's crucial to beat Ceará because the following two matches will be on the road, against Corinthians and Vitória. Santos only has four points, and it would be concerning to waste points with a direct opponent. The match with Ceará will take place in São Paulo, at the Allianz Parque, the Palmeiras stadium. The club's board wants to promote closer ties with Santos fans in the state capital, and the plan is to play a few games a year in the metropolis.
Santos: Lineup
Barreal and Zé Rafael have recovered, but will probably stay on the bench. The artificial pitch of the Allianz Parque may not be suitable for players coming off injuries, especially Zé Rafael, who has been out of action for a long time. Neymar probably won't be returning until the end of the month.
🔖Santos starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Gabriel Brazão – Aderlan, Zé Ivaldo, Gil, Escobar – Rincón, Bontempo – Soteldo, Thaciano, Rollheiser – Tiquinho Soares
⛔️Out: Neymar, João Schmidt, Guilherme (injured)
👤Head Coach: Cléber Xavier

Ceará: Form and statistics
The Vozão beat Vitória 1-0 at home and climbed to seventh place in the standings with 11 points. The winning goal was scored by veteran central defender Marllon, who appeared alone to head into the net from a corner kick. The Cearenses couldn't use the Arena Castelão, where they usually play, but they managed to maintain their unbeaten run at home. Ten of their 11 points have been obtained as hosts. Ceará has yet to win on the road, and that will undoubtedly be the aspect to improve. Leo Condé's team has scored nine goals and conceded seven, showing good defensive organization. Ceará will play Santos without pressure and could enter the G6 this round in case of victory. The opponent is looking shaky, and Ceará can take advantage of that.
Ceará: Lineup
Ceará still has several injured players, and Leo Condé should keep the same team that played against Vitória.
🔖Ceará starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Fernando Miguel – Fabiano Souza, Marllon, Willian Machado, Matheus Bahia – Dieguinho, Fernando Sobral – Galeano, Mugni, Pedro Henrique – Pedro Raul
⛔️Out: Aylon, Fernandinho, Bruno, Richardson, Luiz Otávio (injured)
👤Head Coach: Leo Condé

Santos is going through a difficult time, occupying the 19th position.
