Santos and Corinthians face off in the Brasileiro Serie A at the Estadio Urbano Caldeira on Wednesday (June 21).
The hosts failed to find their feet last time out, as they were held to a goalless draw by Coritiba a fortnight ago. Odair Hellmann’s men have now gone eight games without a win across competitions, losing four, since a 1-0 win over Vasco da Gama on May 14.
With 13 points from ten games, Santos are 13th in the standings but will move into seventh place with a win.
Meanwhile, Corinthians continue to struggle for results, as they needed a late strike from Ruan Oliveira to salvage a 1-1 draw with Cuiaba in their previous outing.
Trending
Vanderlei Luxemburgo’s side are winless in three games across competitions, losing twice since a 2-0 cup over Atletico Mineiro on June 1. Corinthians have lost five of their opening ten games, winning twice to sit 16th in the points table with just nine points.
