Santos vs Mirassol: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Santos club, after a year in Serie B, has returned to the top division. They managed to collect 47 points, which ranked them twelfth. That was enough to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana. There, the Brazilians reached the playoffs, where they succeeded against Macará: 2-1 and 0-0. Earlier, after knocking out Remo, they advanced to the cup quarterfinals. However, things haven’t gone smoothly in the league, although the team improved over the summer. Notably, in their latest match, they beat Vasco da Gama.
The team from São Paulo had an excellent debut last year, immediately finishing fourth in the Brasileirão.

Domestically, they were knocked out of the cup in July, losing to Grêmio. In Serie A, they slipped into the relegation battle. They also lost their most recent matches to Cruzeiro and Flamengo.
The controversial Neymar and company are scoring a fair amount, averaging 1.45 goals per game, but conceding 1.59. Their rivals in the fight for survival in the Brasileirão play slightly less spectacular football: scoring 1.14 goals per game and conceding 1.59.
