Remo v Santos: survival fight meets Sudamericana push | OneFootball

Remo host Santos in the Brasileirão on Saturday, 19 September 2026 at Estádio Estadual Jornalista Edgar Augusto Proença in Belém, with the hosts battling relegation and the visitors eyeing continental places.

Remo face Santos after three meetings in 2026 without a win for the hosts, including a 1-0 home defeat in the cup and a 2-0 league loss away in April. The visitors have the recent head to head edge.

Leão Azul are winless in five league games and sit 19th, having conceded heavily across the season. Peixe, by contrast, have won three straight in the league, beating Corinthians and Internacional away before overcoming Cruzeiro.

Alvinegro Praiano travel without Neymar and Alvaro Barreal through injury, while Éverton is suspended. Lucas Veríssimo, Mateus Xavier and Vinicius Lira are also sidelined. For the hosts, Matheus Felipe Santos Nascimento is suspended.

Peixe have scored 39 and conceded 39 in the league, with six clean sheets and an 82.57% passing accuracy. Gabriel Barbosa leads their threat with 10 league goals and could test a Leão Azul defence that has shipped 45 in 27. The hosts may need a compact shape and quick breaks to disrupt the visitors' rhythm.

A home win would lift Leão Azul's survival bid in the relegation zone. For Peixe, another victory could strengthen their grip on Sudamericana places and keep a top half climb in play.
