Santos visits Novorizontino for the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Paulista this Sunday, at 4:00 PM (Brasília time), at the Dr. Jorge Ismael de Biasi Stadium. The knockout round will be played in a single match.
Novorizontino is enjoying a great moment in the championship. The team from the interior of São Paulo finished the league phase in first place overall, with 16 points. In their last match, however, the Novo Horizonte team lost to Bragantino away from home by 3-0.
Peixe is going through a tough time this season. Vojvoda’s team qualified in the last round of the group stage after thrashing Velo Clube 6-0. However, in the Brazilian Championship, Santos is in 18th place, with only four points. The Argentine coach will have the entire squad available for the match, including Neymar.
The head-to-head history doesn’t feature many official matches. The teams have faced each other only 12 times, with Novorizontino having the upper hand. There have been two wins for Peixe, four draws, and six victories for the Novo Horizonte club, according to the Ogol platform, which specializes in statistics.
The most recent meeting between the teams ended with a win for Peixe. On that occasion, in the first round of this edition of the Campeonato Paulista, Santos beat Novorizontino 2-1 at Vila Belmiro, with goals from Gabigol, Thaciano, and Diego Galo.
