Santos defend four-year unbeaten run at Vila against São Paulo | OneFootball

After losing to São Paulo at Morumbi, Santos hosts the Tricolor on the São Paulo coast for another classic match between the teams, this time for the Brazilian Championship. Despite going through a bad phase, with six games without a win, Peixe will defend a streak that has lasted almost four years against the team led by Hernán Crespo.

The last defeat of Santos to São Paulo at Vila Belmiro happened on February 20, 2022, during the eighth round of that Paulista Championship. On that occasion, Éder, Eduardo Bauermann (own goal), and Rodrigo Nestor scored for the Tricolor.

Since then, Peixe has hosted São Paulo four more times at Vila Belmiro and has an excellent record, with three wins and one draw.

Favorable Record

In the most recent encounter between the teams at Vila, Santos defeated the Tricolor 1-0, in the 2025 Brasileirão, with a goal by Guilherme. Still in the last season, Peixe overcame the rival 3-1, in the sixth round of the Paulista Championship, with two goals by Guilherme and one by Gabriel Bontempo. Lucas Moura scored for the capital team.

The other two matches in this period occurred in 2023 and 2022, both for the Brazilian Championship. In the most recent, the teams drew 0-0 in the San-São classic, while in the previous one, Santos won 1-0, with a goal by Lucas Braga.

Search for Confirmation in the Season

With an irregular start in 2026, the duo San-São seeks to establish themselves throughout the season. Both the Tricolor and Peixe flirted with the relegation zone in the Paulista Championship, but São Paulo shows improvement, with two consecutive wins. Meanwhile, Santos suffers a streak of six games without a win. The classic takes place this Wednesday, at 8 PM (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro.
