The Santos manager A. Stival attacks this game with the team placed 7th so far. In the visitors dressing room Flamengo and their manager D. Torrent Font are in 13th place before this match.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Santos form and stats
Only two Serie A home games for Santos so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
In their previous game, the manager A. Stival led his Santos to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Palmeiras. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio Urbano Caldeira. A strong away win before that one, visiting Sport Recife and winning 1-0.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Vasco da Gama are coming to town in three days.
At Estádio Urbano Caldeira, Santos has the goal stats of 4-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Flamengo form and stats
Things could have gone better for Flamengo in their Serie A away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
Flamengo's last game was the home draw against Botafogo (1-1). Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Gremio.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Serie A trip to Bahia.
It's early days yet, but Flamengo has scored 1 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - two - four (Santos wins - draws - Flamengo wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.Top Goalscorers
