Santos have beaten Palmeiras away in the Paulista only twice this century | OneFootball

Encouraged by their debut victory, Santos aims to maintain their momentum this Wednesday when they visit Palmeiras for the second round of the Campeonato Paulista. However, the rival often poses a challenge for Peixe, especially when the match is away from home.

The Alvinegro Praiano has only secured two victories as visitors against Verdão in the 21st century. In the other 14 encounters, there were five draws and nine victories for Alviverde.

One of these victories for Santos, in fact, did not even end on a pleasant note. That's because, in the penalties, it was Palmeiras who came out on top. The classic in question was in March 2018, during the Paulista semifinals. Peixe won 2-1 in regular time but saw their rivals triumph 5-3 in the penalties.

The other success was in the 2009 State Championship semifinal. On that occasion, Madson and Kléber Pereira scored the goals for the 2-1 victory of the alvinegros at the old Palestra Itália.

In the last five meetings at Palmeiras' home, there have been five victories for the hosts. The last encounter was in the 2024 final, when Verdão secured a 2-0 win and lifted the trophy at Allianz Parque.

This Wednesday, at Arena Barueri, Juan Pablo Vojvoda's team will try to improve these numbers. The match kicks off at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), for the second round of the Paulistão.
