In 2023, Santos lets go of positive taboos and perpetuates uncomfortable fasts


Peixe loses the opportunity to keep the sequence against Bragantino

In the defeat against RB Bragantino against Brasileirão, by 2 to 0, last Sunday (30), Santos allowed Massa Bruta to end the team’s 5-year fast without winning the club from Vila Belmiro.




The scarcity of positive results in a certain tournament or in a match against a club is common in the reality of clubs. However, the year 2023 follows the recipe of recent seasons and is remarkable in this respect.

Peixe had not lost against Guarani for 13 years and, in Paulistão, suffered a 2-0 defeat. Against Newell’s Old Boys, from Argentina, Alvinegro had never lost, but had his first bad score in this South American

However, the club accumulates uncomfortable fasts this year. Against Ferroviária, Peixe hasn’t won for 4 years. At state level, the club failed to qualify for the knockout stage for three consecutive seasons. Among the Serie A clubs, Santos is the team with the greatest shortage of titles and does not show, so far, much strength to fight for anything.

One of the most uncomfortable for Santos fans is the taboo played by Palmeiras. Since 2019, Santos has not beaten his rival in the Clássico da Saudade. Since then, Alviverde has built a streak of 12 matches without being defeated in the dispute.

In recent years, Peixe has gone through some unheard-of situations or situations that haven’t happened for a long time. For example, when he fell to Deportivo Táchira in last year’s Sudamericana, he was eliminated from a competition by a Venezuelan team for the first time in 2022. Even in his last season, Peixe was not in the top 10 of the Brasileirão , a fact that hasn’t happened since 2009.

In the next match, against Bahia, Alvinegro Praiano will try to break another spell. In this case, Santos hasn’t won the Steel Tricolor at Fonte Nova since 2003. The attempt to change history will take place next Wednesday (31st), at 7pm (Brasilia time).
