Santos winless on artificial pitches since 2021, see the stats | OneFootball

Santos will face Atlético-MG this Sunday, in the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The Peixe needs to win to distance itself from the relegation zone but struggles against the poor record on synthetic pitches.

The club's last victory on artificial grass was on October 30, 2021. On that occasion, Fábio Carille's team overcame Athletico-PR 1-0 at Ligga Arena, with a goal from Madson.

Since then, there have been 11 matches on synthetic turf, with seven losses and four draws. That is, a performance rate of 12.1%. Additionally, there were seven goals scored and 18 conceded.

The team Santos has faced the most on such pitches is Palmeiras, at Allianz Parque. There have been five classics at the stadium, with five losses. One of these defeats even cost them the 2024 Paulista Championship title.

Moreover, Peixe also hosted a match at the Palmeiras' home during this period. In May of this year, the management took the match against Ceará to Allianz Parque. However, the Santistas returned home with a bitter 0-0. At the time, Neymar was sidelined due to injury and did not play.

Now, the tendency is for the attacking midfielder to play at Arena MRV. Despite the star publicly declaring that he doesn't like artificial grass, the Alvinegro Praiano needs to score to move away from the Z4.

Santos has only one game at Galo's home. In the inauguration of the stadium, the team from Minas Gerais defeated the team from São Paulo 2-0, with two goals from Paulinho.
