Fighting to avoid the drop, Santos face four G4 teams in 13 days | OneFootball

The life of Santos in the Brazilian Championship has gotten seriously complicated. After stumbling at home against Fortaleza, Peixe has 33 points in 30 matches in the competition, sitting in 16th place. To make matters worse, Juan Pablo Vojvoda's team will face a tough stretch of four matches against teams from the G-4 (Palmeiras, Flamengo, and Mirassol) over a period of 13 days.

Rough Road Ahead

First, this Thursday, Santos will visit Palmeiras—the current leader of the Brasileirão—at Allianz Parque, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), for the 32nd round. Just three days later, on Sunday (the 9th), Neymar and company will visit Flamengo, the runner-up, at Maracanã, at 6:30 p.m.

As if these two major clashes weren't enough, Santos will also face Palmeiras again, this time in a rescheduled match from the 13th round. The game will take place on 11/15 (Saturday), at Vila Belmiro, at 9 p.m. Finally, on the 19th (Wednesday), Peixe will host Mirassol, with the time yet to be determined.

The other team currently in the G-4 is Cruzeiro, in third place, who will face Santos in the last round of the Brazilian Championship, at Vila Belmiro.

Real Danger

Without a win in three Brazilian Championship matches, Santos sits in 16th place with 33 points from 30 games. If they lose to Palmeiras and Vitória beats Internacional, Peixe will drop back into the relegation zone as soon as the next round of the competition.
