Santos form and stats

The total Serie A stats playing at home this season for Santos are 8-5-4 (wins-draws-losses). Hopes of three in a row are alive for Santos after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Santos lost their last game at Corinthians (placed 4th) after a 0-2 scoreline. Santos's goalkeeper João Paulo was extremely busy against Corinthians, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning nine saves. Goalkeeper João Paulo got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.11 out of ten. Paulo stopped the opponent with nine saves.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Chapecoense in a game that was won 2-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Santos have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won six, drawn five and lost two.

There will be little rest for Santos after this match as they are travelling to Internacional for a Serie A game in only three days.
