Vojvoda’s only two wins for Santos came in derbies, here’s a look back | OneFootball

With a great need to distance themselves from the relegation zone, Santos faces a true mission this Thursday against Palmeiras. With only two victories under the command of Juan Pablo Vojvoda, Peixe could fall back into the Z-4 of the Brazilian Championship if they lose. However, a sign of hope for Santos fans is precisely the two triumphs achieved by the Argentine coach with the club: in the derbies against São Paulo and Corinthians, by 1–0 and 3–1, respectively.

Dominated the derbies

After two draws in his first two matches with Santos, Vojvoda secured his first win in charge of the club on September 21, when they beat São Paulo 1–0 at Vila Belmiro, with a goal from Guilherme.

Then, after a streak of three matches without a win, Santos returned to victory in the derby against Corinthians. On October 15, also at Vila Belmiro, Peixe claimed all three points with a 3–1 scoreline, with goals from Zé Rafael, Barreal, and Rollheiser.

It's tough…

However, since the match against Timão, Santos has sunk deeper into the relegation battle and is once again three matches without a win in the Brazilian Championship.

Santos sits in 16th place with 33 points from 30 games. If they lose to Palmeiras and Vitória beats Internacional, Peixe will fall back into the relegation zone as early as the next round of the competition.
