Santos hosts Atletico Goianiense in round 13 of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, July 26th at Estadio Vila Belmiro (Santos)
Santos is now forced to play on two fronts. Fish advanced to the Copa Sudamericana knockout rounds. And in July they fought with Independiente, the representative of Argentina. In fact, only after returning from Avellaneda, the Black-and-Whites started to prepare for Brasileirao. As in the last draw, Santos is in the middle of the standings. Moreover, the results in the middle of summer became much worse. In the last five rounds, Fish gained only one victory over Athletico Paranaense. But it is noteworthy that, despite the workload in the Copa Sudamericana, Santos players find the strength to play until the very final whistle. For example, playing against the strong Red Bull Bragantino away, the Black-and-Whites pulled out a draw due to the goal of Marcos Leonardo in the 95th minute.

Atletico Goianiense played in Serie B in 2018-2019. Having returned to the elite division, the team took 13th place. Even that was enough to get a ticket to the Copa Sudamericana. However, the Dragons stopped already at the group stage. Probably, this is even a plus, because now the team frankly does not shine even in a lighter schedule. Starting the championship with two victories, then Atletico Goianiense won only two times in ten rounds. Moreover, the Dragons have not been able to gain victory for four matches in a row. They at least shared points with Sport Recife and Juventude (1-1). But those draws were followed by a home defeat to Palmeiras (0-3) and an away loss to Cuiaba (2-1).
Losing away in 2019, Santos still eliminated Atletico Goianiense from the Cup (1-0 and 3-0). But in the last championship, the Dragons did better (0-1 away and 1-1 at home). The teams did not shine this season. It is unlikely that they will amaze the viewers with their production in their head-to-head match, so we bet on Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
