Santos are set to host Cruzeiro at Estadio Urbano Caldeira for their upcoming league fixture. Santos enter the contest following a string of mixed performances. They sit 17th in the table after a 2-0 defeat to America MG in their previous league match.
Their opponents, Cruzeiro, come into the game with a stretch of subpar results. They remain 12th in the standings following a 0-0 draw with Bragantino last time out.
The last time these two clubs met was in May. Cruzeiro managed to deliver a 2-1 win that day.
In the last eleven meetings between the two teams at this venue. Santos has won five times, there have been one draw, and Cruzeiro has won five times.
We are counting on Santos to pull off a win here. They have a significant home record heading into this one. They are currently unbeaten in their last four home league matches. Further winning two of those matches.
Cruzeiro, on the other hand, are currently struggling for form. They haven’t won any of their past eight matches. Three of those matches ended in defeats as well.
We expect goals in this match. In four of Santos’s last five home league matches, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Also, three of Cruzeiro’s past six away matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.
In addition, four of the last five h2h meetings between these two have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Santos have a robust home record heading into the match. They are unbeaten in their last four home league matches. They also have a solid recent record against Cruzeiro at this venue. Furthermore, Cruzeiro has had a poor form going into the match.
A draw no bet option in favour of Santos at 1.83 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
Going on, Santos has now scored two or more goals in four of the last five home league matches. Meanwhile, Cruzeiro has also demonstrated defensive flaws and conceded two or more goals in two of their last three away matches. Therefore, over 1.5 team goals by Santos would be a great pick at 3.00 odd.
