Vojvoda counts on unbeaten run v São Paulo to lift Santos from crisis | OneFootball

This Saturday, Santos visits São Paulo for the sixth round of the Campeonato Paulista. The match is of utmost importance for Peixe, who are going through a delicate moment in the season. And to try to ward off the crisis, the club is relying on Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s excellent record against Tricolor.

The coach has already faced the Morumbis club 14 times. So far, there have been eight wins, six draws, and zero losses, in addition to 17 goals scored and seven conceded. In other words, a success rate of 71.4%.

The origin of the unbeaten streak

Vojvoda became a nemesis for São Paulo back in 2015. At the time, he was managing Talleres from Argentina, who eliminated the São Paulo side in the pre-Libertadores. The Argentines won at home by 2-0, and held a 0-0 draw in Brazil.

Leão’s dominance

The other 11 matches were with the coach on the bench for Fortaleza, between 2021 and 2025. With Leão, there were six wins and five draws against Tricolor.

Starting off on the right foot

For Santos, Vojvoda has one clássico against São Paulo. On September 21, 2025, Peixe beat their rival 1-0 at Vila Belmiro, in the 24th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The goal was scored by Guilherme.

To end the crisis

Therefore, this Saturday, Vojvoda hopes to remain unbeaten against Tricolor to give a kickstart to ending the crisis that surrounds Alvinegro Praiano. The club is coming off five games without a win this season – four in the State Championship and one in Série A.

In the Paulistão, Santos is in 11th place, with six points, two more than São Paulo, the first team outside the relegation zone.
