Where to watch live?

How is Santos coming into the match?

Santos enters the last round of the Paulista outside the qualifying zone for the knockout stage. The Peixe is in 10th place, with nine points—one less than São Paulo, the first team in the G8.

The team also comes into the match under pressure. The Alvinegro praiano no longer depends solely on itself to qualify for the Paulista quarterfinals. Besides beating Velo Clube, the team also needs a combination of results to advance to the quarters.

The Santos squad is also experiencing a complicated situation this season. Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s men are coming off a 2-1 defeat to Athletico-PR away from home in the Brasileirão.

How is Velo Clube coming into the match?

On the other side, Velo Clube is still fighting against relegation in the Paulista. The team from the interior started the round in second-to-last place in the table, with only five points. To avoid relegation, they need to beat Santos and hope for a Noroeste defeat.

The team from Rio Claro, however, is also going through a bad spell. The club hasn’t won in five rounds in the Paulistão, with four losses and one draw—the latter against Red Bull Bragantino.
