After a stumbling block in the last round, Santos is looking to resume the momentum in the Brazilian Championship to try to extricate itself, once and for all, from the fight against relegation.
This Thursday (25th), the team from Alvinegra will face Fortaleza, in Vila Belmiro, at 7pm, with TNT and Premiere broadcasting.
Santos arrives for the 35th round with 42 points. There are five points ahead of the first team within the relegation zone, Bahia, 17th in the table.
If you win and your opponents in the fight against sticking lose, you can end the round with that difference by eight points — and with only nine more up for grabs by the end of the tournament. It is worth remembering, however, that some teams have one game less than Santos.
In the last match, Fábio Carille’s team lost, away from home, the derby against Corinthians, by 2-0. The duel marked the coach’s reunion with the club for which he won one Brazilian and three Paulistas.
The setback at Neo QuÃmica Arena ended an unbeaten streak of three games for Santos. Now, he will face an indigestible opponent.
This season, Fortaleza played 11 games against teams from São Paulo. He won six, drew three and lost only twice, against Corinthians and Bragantino.
In its favor, the team from Santos has a positive performance at home. In the Brazilian Nationals so far, the team from Alvinegro played 17 games in Vila Belmiro and won seven, drew five and lost only four.
