The two teams will be up against each other for the first time at the Urbano Caldeira Stadium in the home of Santos. The win predictor suggests Santos as the favorite by a fair percentage of margin. Hence, the final result in likely to be in Santos’s favor, we are expecting glimpses of a few surprises and individual performances. 

Going in the matchup, Santos is coming off decent performances in the last few matches, however, the last defeat against Ituano (3-0) was a great setback. With just 1 shot on target and one corner, Santos was never in the game. Santos FC has scored 8 goals in its last 5 matches, averaging around 1.6 goals and in the last Copa do Brasil fixture, managed to win over Ceilandia (1-1). With the likes of Lucas Barbosa, Marcos Leonardo, and Joaquim Henrique in the ranks, the win predictor rightly favors the Serie A side. 

Going in the matchup, Iguatu is carrying a winning streak of four matches, however, the level of Santos will be unmatchable for the young side hailing in Campeonato Cearense. In the first round against America-RN, Calcinha scored the winning goal in the 77th minute of play. Julio Andre Avelino and Gleidson Henrique were sent in to strengthen and re-energize the formation. The same sort of substitutions are expected from Iguatu during the match against Santos. Iguatu has scored 6 goals in its last 4 matches, averaging 1.5 goals per game. However, the goal-scoring rate might come down against Santos. 

Taking no credit away from Iguatu, the in-form team playing Campeonato Cearense, Santos will have odds in its favor to win. Secondly, the home advantage will help Santos to recover from the last defeat and register a comprehensive win. I am predicting a scoreline of 2-1 or 3-1 by the final whistle of play.
