Santos will host Flamengo at Vila Belmiro in their Brasileiro Serie A Matchday 15 fixture on Saturday night.
The two sides have made somewhat inconsistent campaigns in the Brasileiro Serie A that’s why they sit around mid-table. Santos sit seventh in the league table on 19 points from 14 matches, while Flamengo sit ninth on 18 points from the same number of games.
With several mid-table sides being level on points, both sides will be looking to claim maximum points on Saturday as a poor result could see them drop at least as low as 15th-place as Santos are only two points above Ceara in 15th, while Flamengo are just a point above them.
The two are evenly matched on paper, although Flamengo head into the match in a better mood having won their last two in the league and the Copa Libertadores, while Santos have failed to win in their last four matches across all competitions, picking up three draws.
Santos vs Flamengo head to head
Both sides have met in 39 encounter since 2003 with Flamengo claiming 15 victories while Santos have claimed 11 victories and have been 13 draws.
