Santos aim to exploit Vitória’s flaws in crucial Brasileirão clash | OneFootball

Santos hosts Vitória this Monday in a match valid for the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. The clash is a direct battle against relegation and, for that reason, is being treated as a final. To secure all three points, Peixe aims to exploit some of the rival’s weak points.

Leão is the worst away team in the Brasileirão. The team has still not won away from Barradão. They have only five points from 14 matches (five draws and nine losses), resulting in a success rate of 11.9%.

Vitória’s last away win was on May 14, when they beat Cerro Largo of Uruguay 1-0 in the Copa Sudamericana.

Jair Ventura’s current team also has the third worst defense in the competition, with 43 goals conceded in 28 appearances. That’s an average of 1.5 goals per game.

Leão’s offensive system is another weak point. They have scored 26 goals (an average of 0.92). It’s the fourth worst attack, ahead of only Sport, Juventude, and Fortaleza, the other three teams in the relegation zone.

Buoyed by their win over Corinthians, Santos is looking to take advantage of Vitória’s weaknesses to pick up three more points at Vila Belmiro and move further away from the Brasileirão’s relegation zone. The match kicks off at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the 29th round.

Santos’ position in the standings

Santos is in 16th place, with 31 points, three more than Vitória, who are the first team in the relegation zone.
