The story

Santos seek home momentum against high-flying Cruzeiro

Cruzeiro travel to Vila Belmiro looking to cement their Copa Sudamericana standing while Santos aim to climb the table after a surge in form.

Match news & current form

Santos enter this fixture 13th in the table on 32 points with 13 games remaining. They have found their rhythm recently, winning three of their last five matches, including a 3-0 away win at Vasco da Gama and a narrow 1-0 victory over Corinthians. Despite a recent home loss to Atletico Paranaense, the Peixe have shown resilience by securing consecutive wins in their most recent league outings.

Cruzeiro sit 6th on 42 points, currently holding a Copa Sudamericana place and enjoying a 10-point cushion over the cut-off. They have been in formidable form with four wins from their last five, most recently defeating Atletico Paranaense 3-1. However, a 3-1 loss to Vasco da Gama in their last away trip suggests some vulnerability on the road that the hosts will look to exploit.

Head-to-head history

The recent history between these sides is balanced, though Santos dominated the last meeting at this venue with a 3-0 victory in December 2025. The most recent encounter ended in a 0-0 stalemate earlier this year. Cruzeiro's last win in this fixture came in 2023 when they secured a 3-0 away victory at Santos.

Hot stats & streaks
  • Santos have recorded back-to-back wins in Série A heading into this fixture.
  • Cruzeiro have won four of their last five matches, scoring at least two goals in each of those victories.
  • Christian Oliva has found his range for Santos, netting two goals in his last four league appearances.
  • Cruzeiro's conversion rate remains slightly above the league average despite inconsistent defensive displays.
Key players & missing men

Santos will be without several high-profile names including Neymar, Gabriel Barbosa, G. Escobar, and Vinicius Lira. In their absence, Christian Oliva has stepped up as a primary goal threat. Cruzeiro are missing Gabriel Pec, Jonathan Jesus, and L. Sinisterra, but can still rely on Matheus Pereira and Kaio Jorge to lead the line.
