Santos take on the visitors Vitoria at “Estadio Vila Belmiro” in the matchday nine of the Brazilian Serie A. The game will be played in Sao Paulo on Sunday, June 3rd.
Santos are one of the most famous Brazilian clubs in the world which is also well-known among the football fans as the team which raised Pele. However, “Peixe” mainly disappoints its supporters as the team currently occupies only the 18th place in the Brazilian Serie A standings, having picked up only six points in seven encounters conducted. The club’s offense looks awful as it has scored just six goals so far, still, its defense doesn’t feel much better with 11 goals conceded. In the recent fights hosted at “Estadio Vila Belmiro” Santos have lost 0:1 to Cruzeiro, deserved 0:0 draw against Garcilaso and managed to beat Parana 3:1.

Meanwhile, Vitoria made a weak start of the season. The club has great problems with the squad which don’t allow it to produce its best football. At this moment “Leao da Barra” settles on the 16th position in the elite division table with eight points collected after eight rounds behind. The team demonstrates quite solid play in attack, having scored 13 goals while its defense is a complete mess as it has conceded 15 goals already. In the previous tackles conducted on the road Vitoria have got 1:1 draw against Botafogo RJ, failed 0:3 against Sampaio Correa and celebrated 3:2 victory over Vasco.
Santos have not lost to Vitoria in last 13 home clashes in a row. It’s difficult to excel to either side as both rivals are rather weak now, however, due to vaster experience as well as home-field factor I would give an advantage to the upcoming hosts.
Prediction for the match: Santos to win.
