Recent home record against Cruzeiro worries Santos | OneFootball

Santos faces Cruzeiro this Sunday, in the 38th round of the Brazilian Championship. The Peixe aims to improve its record against the Raposa at home.

The team from São Paulo has won only one of the last five matches against the team from Minas Gerais at their stadium. Besides the victory, there are four defeats.

The victory in question came in 2019. On that occasion, the hosts even fell behind at Vila Belmiro but turned it around to 4-1, with goals from Eduardo Sasha, Marinho, Yeferson Soteldo, and Diego Pituca.

The last match between Santos and Cruzeiro at Urbano Caldeira does not bring good memories for the alvinegros. In 2023, the Raposa delivered a resounding 3-0 and contributed to the unprecedented relegation of the São Paulo team.

This Sunday, therefore, the Peixe aims to get revenge so as not to depend on other results to remain in Serie A.

Standings Situation

Santos is in 14th place, with 44 points, two more than Vitória, which is at the top of the relegation zone.

The Peixe needs a win to confirm its stay in Serie A. However, a draw would also leave the situation well on track. If they lose, the Alvinegro Praiano will need to hope for their rivals to stumble. See all scenarios by clicking HERE.
