Where to watch live?

How is São Paulo doing?

São Paulo is on a high after ending a three-game winless streak with a great victory in the Brazilian Championship debut. Coming from behind, Tricolor defeated Flamengo 2-1 at Morumbis and hopes to maintain the same pace in this weekend's classic.

Despite the positive result, São Paulo is still in a delicate situation in the Paulista. The team is very close to the relegation zone and is in 14th place, with only four points. Therefore, victory is crucial for Hernán Crespo's team to distance themselves from the Z2 and stay alive in the fight for a spot in the knockout stage.

How is Santos doing?

Santos is not in a positive moment this season. In the last match, they were thrashed by Chapecoense in the Brazilian Championship debut, marking their fifth consecutive game without a win.

In the Campeonato Paulista, Peixe is outside the qualifying zone for the quarter-finals, in 11th place, with six points – one less than São Bernardo, who opens the G8. The only match that ended with a victory for Alvinegro Praiano in 2026 was in the first round of the State Championship, with a 2-1 over Novorizontino.

São Paulo vs Santos: match history

The overall match history points to a broad favoritism for São Paulo. According to data from the Ogol platform, specialized in statistics, the teams have faced each other 295 times, with 125 victories for Tricolor against 98 for Peixe, along with 72 draws.

The recent record is much more balanced. In the last ten games, São Paulo has won five times, while Santos has won four, with one draw.

Finally, Santos had the upper hand in the last meeting between the teams. On that occasion, Alvinegro Praiano hosted São Paulo at Vila Belmiro and won 1-0, in the 24th round of the 2025 Brasileirão. Guilherme, who has since left the club, scored the winning goal for Santos.

Statistics

São Paulo is still seeking a better defensive condition at the start of the season. Tricolor has conceded 11 goals in six matches and may find the three-defender system, resumed by Crespo against Flamengo, a more 'secure' alternative in terms of goals conceded.

In attack, Luciano and Calleri are competing for the top scorer title for Tricolor at the start of the year. Both have scored twice so far. Tricolor is also trying to make home advantage count to win the classic. So far, there have been three games at Morumbis, with two wins and one loss.

After the debut in the Brasileirão, Santos went from four to eight goals conceded this season, with the 4-2 defeat to Chapecoense. Many of these goals resulted from individual errors in Peixe's defensive system, which is facing difficulties at the start of the year.

Like in Tricolor's attack, two players are tied for the top scorer for Peixe in 2026 with two goals: Gabigol and Álvaro Barreal. Playing away from home, Santos has not won this year, with two losses and one draw.

Probable line-ups

São Paulo is likely to keep the base line-up that played against Flamengo. With only André Silva and Ryan Francisco out and no new absences, the tendency is for Tricolor to field their best for the classic.

For this Saturday's classic, Santos is expected to have the return of Gabigol, who was rested in the match against Chapecoense midweek. Neymar participated in part of the activity with the group in the last training session, but the tendency is that the number 10 is still not available for Vojvoda at Morumbis.
