Draw at Beira-Rio boosts Santos' relegation risk, check the stats | OneFootball

With a goal from Álvaro Barreal in the second half, Santos managed a 1-1 draw against Internacional this Monday at Beira-Rio, in the Brazilian Championship. The result was not good for Peixe, who remained in the relegation zone and saw their chances of dropping increase to 57.8%, according to numbers from UFMG.

Now, with three matches left until the end of the Brasileirão, Santos sits in a bitter 17th place in the standings, with 38 points from 35 matches. The first team outside the relegation zone is Vitória, who has one more point and the same number of games.

The “three finals”

Santos will have three big decisions ahead in the Brazilian Championship, seeking to secure their place in Série A for 2026. First, this Friday, Peixe will host already relegated Sport at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Vila Belmiro. For this match, Alvinegro Praiano hopes to count on the return of Neymar, who did not play against Internacional.

Then, on December 3 (Wednesday), at 7:30 p.m., Santos will visit Juventude, who may also be mathematically relegated by then. Finally, in the last round of the Brasileirão, Peixe will host Cruzeiro at Vila, starting at 4 p.m.

In other words, to reach the “magic number” of 45 points, considered by many to be the amount needed to avoid relegation, Santos needs two wins and a draw.
