Since 2021, Vojvoda holds even record vs Abel Ferreira’s Palmeiras | OneFootball

The Argentine Juan Pablo Vojvoda, with Fortaleza, and the Portuguese Abel Ferreira have shone in recent years as the longest-serving coaches at the same club in Brazilian football. Now at Santos, the South American coach will face Abel for the first time as the commander of Peixe, and he has a balanced record against the Palmeiras coach.

In almost five years in Brazil, Vojvoda has faced Abel's Palmeiras 11 times, with four wins, three draws, and four victories for Verdão. The last match between the teams ended 2-1 for the Alviverde, in a game held at Arena Castelão.

Difficult Mission

In the overall history of the teams, which had their first match in 1916, Palmeiras has absolute dominance. In 313 games, the Alviverde has a 40-win advantage over Santos (137 x 97), along with 79 draws.

With this challenging record, and without a win in three games in the Brazilian Championship, Santos could enter the relegation zone this round. Peixe is in 16th place with 33 points in 30 games. If they lose to Palmeiras, and Vitória triumphs over Internacional, the Alvinegro will return to the relegation zone in the next round of the competition.
