Santos target first home Série A win since World Cup pause against Cruzeiro | OneFootball

Santos host Cruzeiro at Vila Belmiro on Saturday at 21:00 in the 27th round of the Brasileirão. Cuca’s in-form side are chasing their first home Série A victory since the World Cup pause.

According to Diario Do Peixe, Santos have played eight home games since the restart across three competitions. The run reads 2-2 v Chapecoense, 4-2 v UCV, 0-0 v Remo, 0-2 v Athletico-PR, 2-1 v Macará, 1-1 v Mirassol, 0-0 v Palmeiras, then 2-0 v Atlético-MG. The last of those came in the first leg of the Sul-Americana quarter-finals.

In the league at home over that span, they drew with Chapecoense and Mirassol and lost to Athletico-PR. They are still looking for their first home Série A win since the competition resumed.

In 2026 overall at Vila Belmiro, Santos have played 26 home matches, returning 11 wins, 11 draws and four defeats.

The immediate task is to turn that platform into league points when Cruzeiro visit. Kick-off is at 21:00 at Vila Belmiro.
