How Santos is preparing for the match

Santos is going through a delicate moment in the Brazilian Championship. The team from Baixada Santista is in 15th place, with only 21 points - they have only two more than Vitória, the first team in the relegation zone.

The Alvinegro Praiano is heading into the match after two consecutive defeats in the Brasileirão. The Santos team lost to Vasco, 6-0, at Morumbis. Then, Peixe was defeated by Bahia 2-0, away from home.

How Fluminense is preparing for the match

Fluminense, on the other hand, is also going through a period of fluctuation. Despite qualifying in the South American, the Tricolor Carioca also comes from two consecutive defeats - one against Red Bull Bragantino away from home, 4-2, for the Brasileirão, and the other against Bahia, 1-0, in Salvador, in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil.

In the Brazilian Championship, Fluminense is still in a better situation than Santos. The team led by Renato Gaúcho is in ninth position, with 27 points.

History of the match between Santos and Fluminense

The history of the match between Santos and Fluminense is quite balanced. According to numbers from the Ogol platform, the two teams have faced each other 96 times in official matches. There were 38 victories for Peixe, against 37 victories for the Tricolor Carioca, plus 21 draws.

Looking at the most recent record, however, Fluminense has the upper hand. The Tricolor das Laranjeiras has five victories against just one from Alvinegro Praiano, along with four draws.

In the last meeting between the teams, it was precisely Fluminense that came out victorious. In the first round of the current edition of the Brazilian Championship, the Carioca team beat Santos 1-0, at Maracanã, with a goal in stoppage time by Samuel Xavier.

Peixe is only playing the points tournament, while Tricolor das Laranjeiras is alive in the South American Cup and will face Lanús-ARG in the quarterfinals. The Carioca team is also in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil, but fell behind in the decision against Bahia.

Possible line-ups

The first line-up of coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda should not have major changes. There is a doubt as to who will be Luan Peres' partner in the defense, since João Basso will be out again. Luisão and Zé Ivaldo, reintegrated, are vying for the spot.

In the attack, Peixe should have two important returns: Neymar and Guilherme. The star, who served a suspension against Bahia, recovered from a thigh discomfort and trained normally on Friday and Saturday. The number 11 should be available again after missing the match against Bahia for personal reasons.

On the other side, Fluminense will have to deal with two absences due to suspension: Canobbio and Fuentes, in addition to the new absence of Samuel Xavier, handed over to the medical department. In the attack, the expectation is for a front formed by Serna and Everaldo. In the defensive sector, Renê should continue on the left side.

Possible line-up of Santos

SANTOS: Gabriel Brazão; Mayke, Zé Ivaldo (Luisão), Luan Peres and Souza; Zé Rafael, Tomás Rincón, Gabriel Bontempo and Rollheiser; Neymar (Barreal) and Tiquinho Soares. Coach: Juan Pablo Vojvoda

Possible line-up of Fluminense

FLUMINENSE: Fábio; Guga, Juan Freytes, Ignácio and Renê; Martinelli, Hércules, Bernal and Paulo Henrique Ganso (Acosta); Kevin Serna and Everaldo. Coach: Renato Portaluppi
