Santos face historic away hoodoo against Novorizontino, details here | OneFootball

For the quarterfinals of the Paulistão, Novorizontino and Santos face each other this Sunday at the Doutor Jorge Ismael de Biasi Stadium, at 4pm (Brasília time). Due to having a weaker campaign, Peixe will be the away team against the team from the countryside, an uncomfortable situation for the Alvinegro Praiano, who has never beaten the Tigre do Vale when playing away from home.

The teams have faced each other six times in history, with Santos as the away team. Under these conditions, Novorizontino has won four matches, in addition to four draws. In the last game between the teams, in Novo Horizonte, it ended in a goalless draw.

In the overall record between the clubs, Santos also fares worse: there have been 12 games, with six wins for Novorizontino, four draws, and only two wins for Peixe.
