Santos form and stats
When playing at home in the Serie A, Santos have managed 6 wins, 4 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 12 games. There’s a good atmosphere here at Estádio Urbano Caldeira after three straight home wins.
Santos's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus LDU Quito. Before that, Santos had a Serie A home game versus Sport Recife which ended with a victory 4-2.
The Santos fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 23 goals in 12 league matches. 14 goals have been conceded.
Palmeiras form and stats
Playing away, Palmeiras have won 5 games, drawn 3 and suffered 3 defeats in the Serie A this season.
Willian, Gabriel Veron (2), Danilo and Patrick de Paula scored in Palmeiras's previous match, the home game against Delfin that ended 5-0. Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Atletico PR in the Serie A.
As mentioned above, Palmeiras was the only team on the pitch versus Delfin in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Palmeiras have scored 13 goals in 11 league games away. It's not easy to score on Palmeiras as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
