Santos boast 4th best record against Brasileirão’s top six, check the stats | OneFootball

It is a fact that Santos' campaign in the Campeonato Brasileiro is not good at all. The team is in the 16th position on the table, with only 28 points, and is fighting against relegation. Despite this, one factor stands out: the performance of Peixe against teams in the G6.

According to numbers from Sofascore, the coastal team has a 38.9% success rate against the top six teams in the Brasileirão (Mirassol, Bahia, Botafogo, Cruzeiro, Flamengo, and Palmeiras). In total, there are six games, two wins, one draw, and three losses.

The victories were against Flamengo and Cruzeiro, while the draw occurred against Bahia, which was also responsible for one of the defeats. The other losses happened against Mirassol and Botafogo.

Juan Pablo Vojvoda's team still has six more games against the current G6 teams, including two against Palmeiras, as the first-round match was postponed. The CBF has not yet set a date for the 13th round classic.

The next opponent from the elite group of the Brasileiro will be Botafogo, but before that, Santos has scheduled matches against Corinthians and Vitória, who are part of the bottom of the table.

Dominance against Z4 teams

Against the lower-ranked teams on the table, Santos has a better performance. There are three wins and one draw against Vitória, Fortaleza, Juventude, and Sport, current members of the Z4. Peixe will still face all these opponents in the tournament.
