Santos visits Novorizontino next Sunday for the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Paulista. To leave Estádio Doutor Jorge Ismael de Biasi with a spot in the next round, Peixe will try to achieve something they haven’t managed yet in 2026.

So far, the team hasn’t strung together two consecutive wins this season. In 11 matches this year, in fact, the team has only three victories.

The moment, however, is favorable. In the last round of the group stage, Santos delivered a 6-0 thrashing of Velo Clube and comes in riding high under the command of Juan Pablo Vojvoda.

Fresh in the memory

Between 2025 and 2026, the Alvinegro Praiano managed a positive streak of four wins. There were three in a row in last year’s Brasileirão — against Sport, Juventude, and Cruzeiro — and one already in the 2026 State Championship, precisely against Novorizontino.
