Santos seek Sudamericana progress, nine-year away drought at Atlético-MG looms | OneFootball

Santos head to Atlético-MG on Wednesday for the Sudamericana quarter-final second leg holding a 2-0 lead, but they have not won away to the Galo in nine years.

The tie kicks off at 19:00 at Arena MRV. Cuca’s side can afford to lose by one goal yet still progress, though they are targeting another victory. Diario Do Peixe notes the backdrop to this fixture.

Their last away success in the fixture was a 1-0 win at Independência on 12 July 2017, when Daniel Guedes scored the only goal.

Levir Culpi was in charge and Santos started Vanderlei, Daniel Guedes, Lucas Veríssimo, David Braz, Jean Mota, Leandro Donizete, Thiago Maia, Vecchio, Thiago Ribeiro, Bruno Henrique and Kayke, with Alison, Vladimir and Serginho coming on.

Across 114 meetings, Santos have 42 wins, 31 draws and 41 defeats, with 167 goals scored and 166 conceded.
