Santos end the round as sixth most likely to drop to Série B | OneFootball

Another round of the Brazilian Championship has come to an end, and the battle against relegation has taken on new shades. One of the teams fighting to avoid playing in Série B next season is Santos, which saw the pressure mount after yet another game without a win.

The team led by coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda, who made his debut this weekend, drew 0-0 with Fluminense and dropped to 16th place in the standings, with 22 points. According to data from UFMG (Federal University of Minas Gerais), the coastal team finished the round as the sixth team most likely to be relegated.

The probability of Peixe being relegated is 34.4%, a much higher number compared to Corinthians, for example, which is seventh in the ranking with a 12.8% chance. The Vila Belmiro club is ahead of only Vasco (36%), Vitória (40.3%), Juventude (43.6%), Fortaleza (85.4%), and Sport (95.4%).

With the draw, Santos reached its third game without a win in the Brasileirão. The team also suffered defeats to Vasco and Bahia, by 6-0 and 2-0, respectively.

The Baixada Santista team has 17 more matches to try to avoid the second relegation in its history. The team will return to the field only on the 14th, against Atlético-MG, for the 23rd round of the national league.
