Santos form and stats

A Serie A draw at home so far for Santos. Last season their home statistics were 3 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats from 6 matches.

Stress levels are on the rise for Santos's attacking players as they have now played 445 minutes without scoring in a league game. Leonardo was their last goal scorer.

Santos's previous fixture was a Copa do Brasil game also played at their own arena, finishing 1-0 versus Botafogo SP. The home team hope to to build on that result. Messias, defender, was given a rating of 7.84/10 in that game, top of the team. Messias scored one goal and won 4 of 7 duels.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Atlético Mineiro that ended 0-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Santos perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Santos as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Santos has won 4 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Santos as they are travelling to their away game against Newell's Old Boys in the Copa Sudamericana. That match is three days after this one.

At Estádio Urbano Caldeira, Santos has the goal stats of 0-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
