Santos handed fresh chance to banish Z4 ghosts | OneFootball

Santos arrives for the match against Botafogo this Sunday, for the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship, with a different spirit after Vitória's defeat to Corinthians in Salvador.

The triumph of Timão prevented Peixe from entering the tournament's relegation zone. Leão needed just a draw at Barradão to push the São Paulo team into the Z4.

Santos and Vitória both have 31 points in the Brasileirão. However, Alvinegro Praiano has one more victory and is therefore in 16th place. Rubro-Negro appears in 17th.

At this moment, Juan Pablo Vojvoda's team has two fewer matches than the Bahia team. The club visits Botafogo this Sunday for the 30th round and has a postponed game against Palmeiras for the 13th round. The classic will be on November 15th, at Vila Belmiro.

High-Stakes Game

The duel with Botafogo, therefore, gains an even more special flavor for Santos. After losing a golden chance to distance themselves from the relegation zone last Monday, when they were defeated by Vitória at Vila Belmiro, Peixe sees another opportunity to breathe easily fall into their lap.

Alvinegro Praiano has been out of the Z4 since the 18th round, but has never managed to open a large gap. The largest distance so far was five points.
