Santos’ current attack worse than in the relegation year, compare here | OneFootball

The Santos is not in the relegation zone of the Brazilian Championship, but some numbers are worrying the fans. The attack, for example, is worse than the year of the fall.

Even with Neymar in the squad, the Alvinegro Praiano only scored 20 goals in 21 matches (it is worth remembering that the club had the classic match with Palmeiras postponed). In 2023, the team had 21 balls in the net in 21 commitments.

In that season, Santos finished the Brasileirão with 39 attempts. That is, an average of 1.02 goal per game. Peixe was the third worst attack of the edition, only ahead of Cruzeiro (35) and Goiás (36).

Currently, the team of Juan Pablo Vojvoda has the sixth worst offensive system, tied with Fortaleza. Sport (14), Juventude (19), Vitória (19) and Ceará (19) are worse.

The poor performance of the Santos attack can be explained by the poor phase of the center forwards. Tiquinho Soares has not scored since April 20. Deivid Washington, who was returned to Chelsea, scored a goal for the last time on April 27. Luca Meirelles was sold to Shakhtar Donetsk without scoring in the professional.

To try to correct the problem, the Santos board hired Lautaro Díaz, former Cruzeiro. The Argentine, however, is also not on a high.

The top scorer of Peixe in the Brasileirão is Álvaro Barreal. The winger has five goals.
