Santos comes into this match in a difficult period, having failed to win any of their last five games. They have been struggling to get results and have been conceding goals regularly. On the other hand, Corinthians have had mixed results recently, but they managed a good away win in their last outing, which suggests they are in slightly better shape.

Looking at recent meetings between these two, the matches are often very close and competitive, with many of them ending level. Given Santos's current struggles and the typically tight nature of this fixture, the match is likely to be close, but Corinthians might have a slight edge.
