Santos to face Cruzeiro at packed Mineirão in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Santos will face Cruzeiro in a packed Mineirão for the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship. This Friday, Raposa announced a partial sale of 30,000 tickets for the match. The clash will take place this Sunday at 4 p.m. (Brasília time).

How the teams arrive

Santos comes into the match winless in their last three games in the Brasileirão. Currently in 16th place in the league, Peixe has six points, with one win, three draws, and three losses. After losing at home to Internacional last Wednesday, the São Paulo club dismissed Argentine coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda and announced Cuca as the head coach for the season.

Cruzeiro, meanwhile, has yet to win in the Brazilian Championship. With only three points, the Minas Gerais club is second to last and needs a victory to climb the standings. Raposa is also without a coach after Tite was let go. The team is close to reaching an agreement with Portuguese coach Artur Jorge, who won the Libertadores in 2024 with Botafogo.
