Santos will host São Paulo this Sunday, for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball will roll on the Vila Belmiro pitch, in Santos (SP), starting at 8:30 pm (Brasília time).
Santos comes from a 1-1 draw with Atlético-MG, away from home. The Paulistas managed to seek equality in the final minutes, even with one less player. However, they have already gone four matches without a win, with two losses and two draws.
The Peixe entered the round in 16th place, with 23 points, just one more than Vitória, which opens the relegation zone.
São Paulo arrives at the duel shaken after suffering a tough 2-0 defeat against LDU, in Quito, last Thursday, for the first leg of the Paulista Championship quarterfinals. In the Brazilian Championship, however, the Tricolor Paulista comes from a 1-0 victory against Botafogo, which kept the team in the leading pack of the competition.
The club from the capital currently occupies the seventh position in the national tournament, with 35 units won.
Throughout history there are 311 classics, with 129 victories for São Paulo, 109 for Santos and 73 draws, in addition to 491 Tricolor goals and 440 Alvinegro goals.
The last meeting was on April 20, 2025, for the first round of the Brasileirão. On that occasion, the Tricolor won 2-1, at Morumbis, with goals from Ferreira and André Silva. Tiquinho Soares discounted.

For the classic, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda will not have Neymar. The attacking midfielder was diagnosed with a right thigh rectus femoris muscle injury. Gabriel Brazão, on the other hand, is doubtful. The goalkeeper left the match against Galo in an ambulance due to a blow to the head.
In compensation, the coach will count on the return of Rollheiser. The attacking midfielder served a suspension against Atlético-MG. Another novelty is Alexis Duarte. The defender is already regularized in the BID of the CBF.
On the other hand, Vojvoda will still not have Willian Arão. The midfielder has not yet trained with the squad, despite the medical department understanding that he is in the final stages of recovery from a calf injury.
Zé Ivaldo is another certain absence. The defender was sent off in Belo Horizonte. Igor Vinícius is also not available. The right back is suspended due to an accumulation of yellows. Gabriel Bontempo, finally, is recovering from a muscle injury.
Brazão; Mayke, Adonis Frías, Luan Peres and Escobar; Zé Rafael, João Schmidt, Victor Hugo and Rollheiser; Guilherme and Lautaro Díaz (Tiquinho Soares).
On the São Paulo side, Hernán Crespo should make changes in the lineup aiming at the return match against LDU, for the Libertadores. To preserve, Cédric, current right back, Maílton may earn a spot in the starting lineup for the first time.
In addition, without Tápia (suspended), Dinenno should appear in the initial 11, in place of Luciano. Left back Enzo Díaz can also be spared, giving way to Patryk. Calleri, André Silva and Ryan Francisco continue as casualties, recovering from their respective physical problems.
The good news comes from Oscar and Luiz Gustavo, who can return after training normally with their teammates.
Rafael; Maílton, Rafel Tolói, Alan Franco, Sabino and Patryk (Wendell); Alisson (Oscar), Pablo Maia and Rodriguinho; Rigoni and Dinenno (Luciano)
