Santos vs Bragantino Predictions

• Both teams have scored in six of the last seven meetings.
• The visitors are the joint-second highest-scoring team in the league and have scored 21 goals more than Santos.

Bragantino need to take their chances

These two teams have very different targets this season. But for Santos, it’s all about steering clear of the relegation zone and they can put a bit of daylight between themselves and the dreaded dropzone if they somehow manage to claim three points against the visitors here. This team has produced the likes of Pele, Robinho, Neymar and Alex Sandro, but whilst they’re used to fighting against the big boys at the top, they haven’t produced any players with that wow factor and it’s beginning to affect their ability to compete.

The visitors boast the far superior scoring record this season and are battling it out at the top. But their last two games have seen them draw two blanks, despite making an absolute plethora of chances. In fact, none of their last 11 shots on target have hit the back of the net and it could be a similar story here as manager Mauricio Barbieri has not changed their system this season. They’re a side that presses high and create a huge number of chances in transition.

We think this is the away sides time to get that monkey off of their back and score a couple of goals against an inferior Santos outfit. Expect an away win – a 2-1 scoreline to the visitors would not be a surprise.
