Santos desperate for survival as Vitoria eye Europe
Relegation-threatened Santos host surprise package Vitoria in the final fixture before the World Cup break, with both sides desperate to secure crucial points at opposite ends of the table.
Santos find themselves in a precarious position, sitting 17th on 18 points and just two points above the drop zone with 21 games left to play. Their top-flight survival is far from secured, and defensive vulnerabilities have been heavily exposed after conceding six goals in their last two outings—a 3-0 home defeat to Coritiba followed by a 3-2 loss at Gremio.
Vitoria arrive in a much more comfortable position, sitting 11th on 22 points and just four points off the European qualification places with 22 games remaining. However, they must overcome a depleted squad and accumulated fatigue from a demanding schedule, having recently suffered a 3-1 defeat to Atletico Paranaense and a 2-0 loss against RB Bragantino.
