Preview: Palmeiras vs Santos prediction, odds, where to watch, time | Campeonato Brasileiro Série A 2026

The previous outing between these clubs ended in favour of the Alviverde.
SE Palmeiras are now going to lock horns with Santos FC for their matchweek 14 fixture of the 2026 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. These two sides are going to come up with an interesting clash, taking place at the Allianz Parque.
The Abel Ferreira-led side are on a top run of form at the moment. They have secured consecutive wins in their last three games and will be looking to extend their winning run at the moment. Alviverde secured a 1-0 win against Red Bull Bragantino in their last league outing.
Having won 10 of their first 13 matches, Palmeiras are placed first on the Brazilian Serie A points table. They have performed well since the beginning of the season and the upcoming clash is not going to be a tough one for them.
Neymar and company continue to underperform. They were held to a 2-2 draw by Bahia in their last league outing. Cuca’s men need to work on their defence and come up with a better strategy going into the next game.
Santos FC are in 17th place on the Campeonato Serie A points table with just three wins in 13 games. They are already in the relegation zone at the moment. Pexie have lacked consistency and might even struggle in their next match as well.

Players to Watch
Flaco Lopez (Palmeiras)
Flaco Lopez is going to be one of the main men in the final third for Palmeiras. He can be lethal in front of the goal and is also good at making plays. In 13 Campeonato Serie A appearances this season, he has scored four goals and has three assists. The 25-year-old will be eager to cause problems for the visitors here.
Benjamín Rollheiser (Santos)
Benjamín Rollheiser scored a sensational brace in the previous Brazilian Serie A game for Santos FC, but it was not enough to get them a win. He has done well in his last two matches for Pexie and will once again be looking to play a crucial part both in the midfield and the attacking front.
