Match preview: São Paulo vs Santos
São Paulo and Santos are set to clash at Nicolau Alayon Stadium in the 5th round of the Brasileirão Serie A. Historical confrontations at this venue have slightly favoured the home side. In their last seven encounters here, São Paulo has won four, drawn one, and lost two. However, in their most recent meeting at this venue in Paulista A1 on 14-02-2024, Santos emerged victorious with a narrow 0-1 win, courtesy of a goal from Alfredo Morelos (66′). The home advantage could play a crucial role in this upcoming match, as Santos have displayed inconsistent performances when playing away.
Team analysis: São Paulo
Currently sitting in 15th position with 3 points, São Paulo has struggled with four consecutive draws, most recently ending their match against Botafogo in a 2-2 stalemate. Their previous fixture also resulted in a 1-1 draw at home against Cruzeiro. The home team doesn’t show much disparity between their home and away records, with their last 30 matches resulting in 4 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses as visitors, scoring 16 goals and conceding 15. In contrast, at home, they have recorded 6 wins, 7 draws, and 2 losses, with 24 goals scored and 15 conceded. São Paulo has four draws in their last five matches and is focused on converting those into wins to avoid falling further behind in the standings. Although unbeaten, their lack of offensive prowess is a concern. The need to secure a victory over a direct rival while playing at home could be pivotal to boosting their morale. A solid defence combined with a more adventurous approach in attack may yield positive results against Santos.
Team analysis: Santos
Santos currently languishes in 18th place, having garnered just 1 point from 1 victory, 1 draw, and 2 defeats. They recently faced a setback, losing 1-0 to Fluminense in their penultimate match, but bounced back to secure a 2-0 victory against Atlético Mineiro at home in the latest outing. Santos has shown to be more formidable on home turf, achieving 10 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses in their last 30 games at home, with 28 goals scored and 13 conceded. Conversely, their away record shows 4 wins, 2 draws, and 9 losses, having conceded goals in 3 of their last 4 fixtures. With both teams sitting on 4 points, Santos is keen to bolster their performance with a victory against their rivals to regain confidence. Their strategy may involve utilising quick attacks and taking advantage of spaces left behind defensively by São Paulo. Effectiveness in front of goal will be vital in a tightly contested match. Santos is prepared to contest vigorously, irrespective of playing away, in pursuit of the three points.
