The Fish enters the field to extend the taboo and eliminate any possibility of relegation
In the duel of the teams trying to get away from the relegation zone, Santos and Portuguesa face off for the 10th round of the Paulistan. The match will be played in Vila Belmiro, a place that usually doesn’t give many joys to Lusa fans. Inside its stadium, Peixe have not lost a match against Rubroverde since 2002.
In that time, the teams met seven times in Vila Belmiro. Santos has won six times and won. In that period, only one duel in 2008 ended in a draw, with the final score 1-1.
The last time Lusa got the better of Alçapão was in 2002, for that edition’s Brasileirão. Although Diego Ribas put Santos ahead of the scoreboard, César and Danilo scored for Portuguesa.
In this 21-year interval, the team from the capital also won, in 2012, a match under Santos’ domination of the pitch. However, the duel was held in Pacaembu, São Paulo.
Santos, this year at Paulistão, has not yet been defeated in Vila Belmiro. It should be noted that the two victories of Alvinegro Praiano took place at home.
