Santos chase first away win against Novorizontino | OneFootball

Santos faces Novorizontino this Sunday in the quarter-finals of the Campeonato Paulista and will have to break an important taboo to advance to the semi-finals. The Peixe has never beaten the Tigre as a visitor.

In six matches played at the Estádio Doutor Jorge Ismael de Biasi, Santos has accumulated four losses and two draws, with seven goals scored and 12 conceded.

The last visit to the stadium, on February 9, 2025, ended in a 0-0 draw. On that occasion, Neymar played his first match as a starter since returning to the club.

Now, the number 10 can repeat the scenario. Recovered from an arthroscopy on his left knee, the attacking midfielder returned to the field in a 6-0 victory over Velo Clube, entering in the second half. This time, however, the expectation is that he will start the game to try to help Santos finally achieve their first victory on rival territory.

The decisive match against Novorizontino takes place at 4 PM (Brasília time), in a single game, with a spot in the Paulistão semi-final at stake.
