The Santos is in a delicate situation in the fight against relegation in the Brazilian Championship. And the Peixe might have to rely on rivals to remain in Serie A.
A direct competitor of Alvinegro Praiano, Vitória still has nine matches to play in the competition. Of these, three will be against Neymar's team's biggest rivals: Corinthians, Palmeiras, and São Paulo.
The Leão hosts Timão this Saturday at Barradão for the 30th round. Then, they visit Verdão in the 37th round and finish their participation in the Brasileirão against Tricolor in Salvador. There is also a match against Red Bull Bragantino in Bragança in the 34th round.
Today, Santos and Vitória are tied in points, with 31, but the Bahian team is in the relegation zone because they have one less victory.
Therefore, the Peixe needs to hope that their rivals take points from Leão.
To not depend on the Trio de Ferro, Alvinegro Praiano needs to show a reaction in the 10 games they still have to play. Juan Pablo Vojvoda's team will play one more match because the classic against Palmeiras, for the 13th round, was postponed to November 15.
