Santos back up to eighth in Brasileirão after six years | OneFootball

Santos have climbed back to eighth in the Brasileirão for the first time in six years, reaching 38 points. Cuca's side are on a six-match unbeaten run, including four straight wins.

Diario Do Peixe reports on Santos' resurgence. Their record stands at 10 wins, 8 draws and 9 defeats, with 41 scored and 40 conceded. They also have a game in hand to be played during this FIFA window.

Santos visit São Paulo on Friday (02) at 20:00 at Morumbis in a round 21 fixture. Victory would take them to 41 points and could lift them above seventh-placed Atlético-MG.

Atlético-MG also have a round 21 match to play, against Bragantino on Saturday (03) at 18:30 at Arena MRV.

The last time Santos were higher than 10th was in 2020, during Cuca's previous spell. They finished that season eighth with a 14-12-12 record, scoring 52 and conceding 51.

With eleven rounds remaining this year, they could yet improve on that campaign.
