Holding the top four
Fortaleza sit fourth in Série B, inside the promotion places, with 48 points from 28 games: 13 wins, 9 draws and 6 defeats. The 1-1 against Ceará in the Clássico-Rei felt like a missed chance, because derbies are there to be won. Still, the campaign is solid and promotion remains in the Lion's own hands.
Unbeaten record at stake
On Sunday the 20th, Fortaleza travel to face Londrina with an unbeaten record to protect: the Lion has never lost to them. Picking up points on the road at this stage is what separates the teams that go up from the ones left with regrets. After the derby draw, only a win will do.
New faces at Pici
Reinforcements have landed for the run-in: Angolan centre-back Bastos, the “Pitbull”, signed until the end of the season and says “all that's left is to work”. Chico da Costa arrives with Cruzeiro covering his wages, a smart deal that eases the payroll, and was unveiled alongside Jailson. In the academy, the U-15s took on Ceará on Thursday in the state championship.
