Santos struggling more than in the season they were relegated to Série B | OneFootball

Santos was unable to defeat Internacional this Monday at Beira-Rio, having to settle for a 1-1 draw in the direct clash in the fight against relegation in the Campeonato Brasileiro. With the result, Peixe reached 38 points, leading to a campaign worse than the year they were relegated for the first time in their history.

In 2023, the year they fell to Serie B, Santos had 43 points after the 35th round of the Brasileirão and was in 15th place, outside the relegation zone. The problem was that Peixe ended up being defeated in the last three rounds, dropping to 17th place and suffering relegation.

In the current season, Santos has 38 points after the 35th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro and occupies 17th place on the table, being the first team in the relegation zone.

The team led by Juan Pablo Vojvoda needs two wins and a draw in the last three rounds to reach 45 points, considered by mathematicians as sufficient to save the team from the dreaded relegation.

"I want to ensure this, I want to stay in Serie A. It's what I will fight for, what I will work for until the last minute and we will achieve it. I will be calmer, but that's the feeling I have at this moment," commented Santos' coach, Juan Pablo Vojvoda.

Santos' last three commitments in the Campeonato Brasileiro will be against Sport, next Friday, at Vila Belmiro, Juventude, who are also fighting to avoid relegation, away from home, and finally, Cruzeiro, also at Vila.
