Match preview: Santos vs Palmeiras
Santos and Palmeiras are set to clash at the Urbano Caldeira Stadium in the 13th round of Brazileirão Serie A. Historical encounters at this venue lean in favour of the visitors, having won 3, drawn 2, and lost just 1 of their last 6 matches here. Notably, in their most recent face-off at this ground on 23-01-2025, Palmeiras edged a tight contest with a 2-1 victory, with Guilherme scoring for Santos and Thalys and Richard Ríos netting for Palmeiras. The home and away performance warrants close attention, as Santos, currently 15th, faces off against Palmeiras, placed 4th, revealing a significant contrast in home and away form.
Team analysis: Santos
The home side sits in 15th position with 11 points, accumulating 3 wins, 2 draws, and 7 losses. Their recent form is concerning, suffering a home defeat to Botafogo (0-1) followed by a narrow victory against Fortaleza (2-3). Interestingly, Santos has performed better away from home, taking 6 points on the road compared to just 5 at their own ground. They have conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 league games, highlighting defensive frailties. Santos has not managed to recover after conceding first in any match this season.
The upcoming match in the Brazileirão adds pressure on Santos as they seek to correct course following poor results. The team has utilised the break to recuperate physically and make necessary tactical adjustments, which will be essential against a strong opponent. Playing on home turf requires them to exhibit determination and consistency to tackle these challenges. The psychological aspect is also crucial, as a win could shift the season’s momentum. To achieve this, they must showcase organised football balancing attack and defence, as any mistakes could be costly against a proficient rival.
Team analysis: Palmeiras
The away team is currently 4th, having garnered 22 points from 7 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses. Their recent matches saw them lose at home to Flamengo (0-2) and away to Cruzeiro (2-1). Notably, they perform better as visitors, collecting 15 points away compared to just 7 at home, where they’ve scored 3 goals and conceded 3, while away they’ve netted 9 goals and conceded 5. They recently secured a home win over Botafogo (1-0) after extra time. In the league, Palmeiras has successfully earned 15 out of a possible 18 points in their last 6 away matches, showcasing a robust attacking unit that has scored in 8 of their last 10 league fixtures. Only once have they managed to turn the result around after conceding first in 11 outings.
As Palmeiras approaches this derby following a grueling schedule across various competitions, the physical impact may pertain to their performance. Nevertheless, the club harbours high aspirations for the league title and sees this match as an opportunity to assert their dominance. Their depth and experience should help maintain competitiveness throughout. Tactical cohesion and discipline will be vital, especially in crucial fixtures like these. They are aware of the need to accumulate points in order to stay firmly in the contention for the title, so they will approach the match with utmost seriousness and focus to secure a win.
