Santos take on the visitors Bragantino in the round 27 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, October 20th at Estadio Urbano Caldeira (Santos).
Santos may not be considered a top-tier team at the moment, but it's undeniably popular and has paved the way in football for many top stars. Not too long ago, they achieved significant success by reaching the Copa Libertadores final in 2020. However, in the previous season, they finished in a disappointing twelfth place in the Brasileirao. Moreover, this season, failing to advance from the Copa Sudamericana group stage, they found themselves in the relegation zone of Serie A. As a result, this once-great team might be headed for the second division. Nevertheless, they've managed to secure three consecutive victories recently, first against Bahia and Vasco da Gama, and in their most recent match, they triumphed 2-1 on the road against Palmeiras.

Red Bull Bragantino still have a chance for the title. The Lions have been on a rollercoaster ride in recent years. In 2021, they reached the Copa Sudamericana final and finished sixth in Serie A. However, in the following cycle, they dropped to fourteenth place. Some attributed this decline to the passing of Mateus Chedid, the owner of the entire international Red Bulls franchise. Currently, only Botafogo has accumulated more points, and recently, the gap between these competitors has been narrowing. The pursuing team earned 13 points in 5 matches, while the leader responded with a series of losses. However, in the latest round, The Lone Star managed to secure a victory, while Pedro Caixinha's proteges settled for a draw against Atletico Paranaense.
Santos gathered 7 points from 3 matches. But this year, the Lions secured a win on their home turf with an impressive score of 2-0. The visitors are favored, which is understandable since they are title contenders facing an underdog. We recommend betting on Red Bull Bragantino, but with a 0 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Bragantino to win with 0.0 handicap.
