How is Santos coming into the match?

On the other hand, Santos has not won in five games and faces a “final” in the Paulistão. To avoid relegation risks, Peixe needs a win to move away from the bottom two and still dream of qualifying.

Head-to-head history

Santos and Noroeste have faced each other 56 times in the history of the Campeonato Paulista, with a wide advantage for Peixe: 39 wins, 10 draws, and only 7 losses. The last match took place on February 19, 2025, at Vila Belmiro, and ended with a 3-0 victory for Santos.

19/02/2025 — Santos 3–0 Noroeste (Paulista)
11/02/2011 — Santos 2–0 Noroeste (Paulista)
25/01/2009 — Noroeste 1–2 Santos (Paulista)
09/03/2008 — Santos 3–2 Noroeste (Paulista)
08/04/2007 — Noroeste 1–4 Santos (Paulista)

Noroeste absences and reinforcements

Guilherme Alves faces a new challenge from the last round: defender Maycon felt discomfort in the very first minute of the draw against Ponte Preta and will hardly be able to play, opening up space for the experienced Ronaldo Alves to take his place in defense.

In attack, the biggest doubt remains, as the coach started the previous game with two center-forwards (Carlão and Marlyson), but changed the formation during the match. If he opts for changes, Pedro Felipe and Léo Tocantins are alternatives to compose the attacking sector.

Santos absences and reinforcements

Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda will be able to count on the return of Thaciano for the match against Noroeste, this Sunday at 4pm in Bauru, for the seventh round of the Paulistão. The attacking midfielder, recovered from a right thigh edema, participated normally in Friday's training after missing the last four games.

Another player who trained with the squad was Neymar, who is recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his left knee performed in December. There is a chance the star will be included in the squad for this crucial match for Santos, who are looking to move away from the relegation zone and still dream of qualifying for the final phase.
