Santos
Prior to the break for the Club World Cup, Santos earned a crucial 3-2 victory over Fortaleza, with goals from Álvaro Barreal, Guilherme, and a late own goal by João Ricardo sealing a vital three points, a result that lifted them out of the relegation zone.

Since then, Santos have used the Club World Cup break as a chance to regroup and refocus for the next part of the season. Last weekend, they took on Desportiva Ferroviária in a friendly and came away with a 3-1 win on the road. Goals from Neymar, Guilherme, and Diego Pituca secured the victory against Desportiva Ferroviária.

Santos will now be hoping to carry that momentum into this tough fixture against a strong Flamengo side, though they’ll know just how big a challenge it will be.

Flamengo
Flamengo are in fantastic form right now. They sit top of the league after 12 matches, having won eight, drawn three, and lost just once. They’re currently on a three-match winning streak, the latest being a 2-0 victory over São Paulo at the weekend.

After a quiet first half, Luiz Araújo and Wallace Yan struck to seal the win, a strong return to Brazilian football following their spell in the States for the Club World Cup.

Flamengo have been one of the standout teams this season, scoring 26 goals and conceding just 4. They’ll be looking to continue their impressive run as they head into this clash sitting firmly at the top of the league.

Prediction – Santos 0-2 Flamengo
