The clash between Santos and Bragantino promises yet another balanced chapter in a recent history marked by parity. With four wins for each side and two draws in the span of the last ten games, the teams come into the match with no clear favorite.

The game won by Peixe 3-1 was, in fact, the only time the team hosted a match at the Neo Química Arena, Corinthians' stadium. In the previous year, Bragantino came out on top in both the first and second rounds of the Brasileirão and finished the season unbeaten against Santos.

Within the span of the last ten games, Santos did not lose to Massa Bruta in the 2021 and 2022 seasons, with two wins and a draw, all of them in the respective years' Brazilian Championship.

This Sunday, Santos and Bragantino face off in a match valid for the fifth round of the Campeonato Paulista. The ball gets rolling at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo.
