Santos chase historic first in the Brasileirão against Juventude | OneFootball

Santos visits Juventude on Wednesday seeking a victory to move away from the relegation zone. And Peixe is aiming for an unprecedented feat in this edition of the Brazilian Championship.

The Alvinegro Praiano has not yet managed to go two consecutive rounds without conceding a goal. This could be achieved precisely against the team from Rio Grande do Sul, in the 37th round at Alfredo Jaconi, since Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s men are coming off a 3-0 victory over Sport.

One encouraging piece of news is that Juventude has the third worst attack in Série A, with 34 goals scored. Only Ceará (33) and Sport (28) are behind. At home, they have 21 goals in 18 matches.

Santos, on the other hand, has conceded 31 goals in the 18 matches played away from home. The last time they kept a clean sheet away was on May 25, in a 1-0 win over Vitória in the 10th round of the Brasileirão. Since then, the team has played 12 matches at their opponents’ stadiums.

Overall, the Alvinegro Praiano has conceded 50 goals in 36 Série A matches, making it the seventh worst defense in the competition.

Tiebreaker criteria!

Therefore, this Wednesday, goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão hopes to keep a clean sheet once again to help the team from São Paulo and avoid a second relegation.

And having a good goal difference at the end of the tournament is important, as it is a tiebreaker criterion. In fact, this is the factor currently keeping Santos out of the relegation zone.

Peixe is in 16th place, with 41 points, the same as Colorado, who opens the Z4. The São Paulo team has a goal difference of -11, compared to -12 for the team from Rio Grande do Sul.
