The visiting Santos side should be favourites in this visit to Bragantino, as the away team holds a 11 point advantage from their 19 league games this season.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Bragantino and Santos.
Bragantino form and stats
4-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Bragantino so far this season. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Bragantino after consecutive victories at their own ground.
In their previous game, the manager M. Nogueira Barbieri led his Bragantino to a defeat in the Copa do Brasil match away at Palmeiras. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid. Heartbreak before that as Bragantino lost 1-2 at Grêmio's place.
This is expected to be a close game, with Bragantino perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bragantino as a small favourite), we find four games. Bragantino has won one of these, drawn one and lost two.
Bragantino has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. 10 goals have been conceded.
Santos form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
Santos are travelling again after losing away to Ceara in their previous match (0-1). A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs Bahia.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found twelve similar matches played by Santos in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Santos, four draws and four defeats.
Santos are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 10 away goals from 9 games (in the league). Santos have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
