Santos v Corinthians: mixed form meets mid-table stakes | OneFootball

Santos host Corinthians in the Brasileirão on Sunday, 15 March 2026 at Estádio Urbano Caldeira, with both looking to climb after uneven starts. The visitors sit 10th on seven points, the hosts 14th with five.

These sides drew 1-1 at this ground in January in the Paulista, underlining how tight this fixture can be.

Peixe arrive with a league win over Vasco da Gama followed by a 2-2 draw at Mirassol. Timão's recent league run on the road has been solid, winning at Athletico Paranaense and drawing at Cruzeiro before a home defeat to Coritiba.

For Peixe, Neymar (forward) is injured. Timão list four absentees: Matheus Pereira (midfielder), Hugo (defender), Kaio César (forward) and Felipe Longo (goalkeeper).

Alvinegro Praiano's league games have brought eight goals for and 10 against across five outings, pointing to open contests. Coringão have five scored and five conceded, suggesting a more controlled profile. The game may hinge on whether the hosts' attacking output can break down the visitors' tighter shape, with Timão's away form hinting they could be comfortable absorbing pressure.

A home win would move Peixe towards the top half and further from the relegation places. Victory for Timão would take them to 10 points and could strengthen their grip on the Copa Sudamericana spots, while a draw would keep both in mid-table traffic.
