Palmeiras vs Santos FC Prediction: Victory For The Greens
On November 7, 2025, Palmeiras will host Santos FC at Allianz Parque in Round 32 of the Brasileirão. This marks the first encounter between the two teams this season, as their previous match in June was postponed.
Santos FC Season Overview
Santos FC currently holds sixteenth place with 33 points from 30 matches. After spending over six weeks in the relegation zone, the team has finally climbed out of danger. The turnaround followed the dismissal of former manager Cleber Xavier, who was let go after a 6-0 defeat to Vasco da Gama. During his 15 games in charge, Xavier led the team to five wins, four draws, and six losses.
"Juan Pablo picked the team from a desperate situation, and since then, has pulled the team through media mockery to simple decency, come the end of the season."
Recent Performances
Santos FC achieved a notable 3-1 victory against their derby rivals Corinthians Paulista in the return leg, overturning a 1-0 loss from May. Their narrow defeat to Vitoria was followed by a resilient 2-2 draw against a challenging Botafogo side. Last week, they earned a point with a 1-1 draw against Fortaleza, coming from behind in the 74th minute to cancel out Fortaleza's earlier lead.
