The home advantage could play a crucial role, as Santos has exhibited significant fluctuations in performance when playing away compared to their home games.

The home side currently occupies 2nd place, having accumulated 37 points from 11 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses. In their penultimate match, Cruzeiro suffered a home defeat against Ceará by a score of 1-2. However, in their most recent match, they claimed victory against Botafogo with a score of 0-2. This team demonstrates consistent performance while playing away, having recorded 6 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses in their last 30 games on the road; whilst at home, they boast 9 wins, 4 draws, and only 2 losses. Currently, Cruzeiro arrives for this match after a 0-2 victory over CRB. In the championship, they have amassed 22 points out of a possible 27, achieving 7 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last 9 home games. Their defence shows solid form, having conceded goals in only 3 of the last 10 matches, while their attack has kept the scoring going regularly, netting in 7 of the last 10 games in this competition. Notably, in their home matches, there is a trend of high-scoring games, with 7 out of 9 matches ending with over 2.5 goals.

Cruzeiro is on a solid campaign and is firmly in contention for the top positions in the table. The squad appears well-balanced, excelling in both offensive and defensive play, and will take to the pitch as the favourites, particularly due to home advantage. A victory is deemed essential to maintain pressure on the leaders. Fans can expect a team that takes an aggressive approach, aiming to dominate possession and create opportunities from the start, while remaining focused to avoid any unexpected setbacks.

Team analysis: Santos

The visiting side is currently in 15th place, having garnered 18 points from 5 wins, 3 draws, and 9 losses. In their previous match, Santos drew away to Sport Recife at 2-2, and in the after match, they secured a 3-1 home win against Juventude. This team has been impacted by playing away, as they generally perform better with the support of their fans, recording just 3 wins, 3 draws, and 9 losses over their last 30 away matches, scoring 14 goals and conceding 21. At home, they have achieved 7 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses, scoring a total of 24 goals and conceding 15. In their last 9 away matches in the championship, Santos has managed only 2 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses, obtaining 7 points out of a possible 27. In matches played, the most frequent score at half-time has been 0-0, occurring in 4 of their 8 games. The team has allowed opponents to score in 7 of their last 10 matches in this competition, indicating defensive weaknesses. Moreover, their away games trend towards fewer goals, with 4 of their last 9 matches concluding with under 1.5 goals. In 17 matches so far, they conceded the first goal in 10 instances and have never managed to turn the score around.

Santos is currently experiencing a challenging phase and is battling to escape the bottom of the table. The squad has struggled to assert itself away from home and urgently needs to accumulate points to distance themselves from the relegation zone. Facing a formidable opponent, this task will be even more daunting, necessitating a solid and error-free performance. The strategy will likely be cautious, focusing on counter-attacks and exploiting any mistakes made by the rival. Each point garnered could prove crucial in their fight against relegation.
