Santos and Juventude face each other this Monday, at 8 pm (Brasilia time), in Vila Belmiro, in a game valid for the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship.
After two consecutive defeats, Santos is looking to rediscover the path of victories to distance itself from the relegation zone and still dream of fighting for a spot in next year’s Copa Libertadores. For this, the Fish hopes that the G-6 becomes a G-8. Currently, the team has 37 points in the Brasileirão.
Peixe has important absences: forward Soteldo, defender Maicon and right-back Madson are in the medical department, while right-back Nathan is suspended for the red card received in the last round. With this, the interim coach Orlando Ribeiro is forced to change the defensive system for the fifth game in a row. He will give Lucas Braga the opportunity to start again in attack.
With relegation heading to Serie B, Juventude, lantern with 20 points, wants to end their participation in the competition in the best possible way. For this, the gaucho club aims to end the sequence of 11 games without winning. In the last round, in the debut of interim coach Lucas Zanella, the team left a good impression by staying in a 2-2 draw with Corinthians, at Alfredo Jaconi.
After taking over the team the day before the clash with Corinthians, Zanella had a whole week to design the duel in Vila Belmiro. Despite this, the tendency is to maintain the initial team with only one or two changes. After serving a suspension, goalkeeper Pegorari returns to the starting position, while defender Vitor Mendes disputes with Paulo Miranda a position in the defense.
Both teams score – Yes
considering the degree of importance of the confrontation and the defensive fragility of the two teams, it is likely that both Santos and Juventude will score goals.
Total Goals: More Than 2.5 Goals
That way, based on the bet above that Peixe wins the match, you can also choose how many goals he will have in the game. Therefore, evaluating the last games of both teams, there is a probability that the match will have more than 2.5 goals in the match.
Last Five Matches
Therefore, the club from Baixada Santos, in the last five games, has not won any. It is worth mentioning that the club comes from yet another change of coach in this final stretch of the Brasileirão. Currently, who is in charge of the team is Orlando Ribeiro.
Youth, on the other hand, occupies only the 20th position of the table and is looking to recover and try to get out of the relegation zone. In the last five duels they had, there were three defeats and two draws.
