Santos vs Agua Santa Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Pedro Caixinha eye a big win over the Sao Paulo-based outfit.

The Paulista A1 fixtures take us to the Estadio Urbano Caldeira Stadium where Santos FC are set to host Agua Santa.

Santos FC have struggled for consistency in recent weeks, managing just one victory in their last five outings. Their only win came against São Paulo, but it was followed by a disappointing 3-1 loss to São Bernardo and a 2-0 defeat against Corinthians, despite registering 17 shots. Their inefficiency in front of goal has been a major concern, and they will need to address it before their next challenge.

As they prepare to host Água Santa, Santos will be determined to turn things around and give their home fans a reason to cheer. The team is keen to rectify past mistakes and deliver a commanding performance, knowing that three points are crucial to regaining momentum. With their attacking intent and desire to entertain, they will be aiming for a strong response in front of their supporters.

Água Santa FC have struggled to find a winning formula in their recent outings, failing to secure a victory in their last five matches. While they managed to hold strong teams like Palmeiras, Portuguesa, and Botafogo to draws, defeats against Ponte Preta and Guarani have dented their momentum. Despite these setbacks, they remain competitive in the Paulista Série A3, currently sitting in sixth place, showing resilience amidst their inconsistent form.

As they prepare to face Santos FC, Água Santa will be eager to break their winless streak and reclaim their confidence. The upcoming fixture presents an opportunity to turn things around and make a statement against a formidable opponent. With both teams hungry for points, the match promises to be an intense battle, as Água Santa look to rise above their struggles and regain their rhythm.
