Atletico Mineiro
- Atletico Mineiro are 7th in Serie A 2026 with 43 points from 28 games, only 2 ahead of Peixe in 8th, who have 41 points from 28.
- Atletico Mineiro have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 5 matches.
Santos FC SP
- Santos FC SP have won 4 and lost 1 of their last 5 games, winning their last 2 consecutively.
- Santos FC SP have been a pretty solid away side in Serie A 2026 overall, winning 5, drawing 4 and losing 5 away from home, including two solid wins on the road in recent weeks, against Remo PA (2-1) and Sao Paulo FC (2-1).
Head-to-Head
In the head-to-head, these sides are level having each won 2 and drawn 1 in the last 5 meetings, so neither side has a stranglehold on the fixture.
Key Players
- Cuca's Santos FC SP press the ball hard, but also play at a higher tempo through the wings and in vertical combinations.
- The midfield matchup will be interesting, but Santos FC SP are the better goalscorers and have more of a clinical edge, with Gabriel Barbosa netting 4 of Peixe's 6 goals across their last 5.
Betting Insights
- Atletico Mineiro have been a fortress at home in Serie A 2026, winning 8, drawing 5 and only losing once, whilst scoring an impressive 24 goals in 14 home games.
- The bookies are on the right lines here, making the home side a slight favourite at 1.97, whilst Peixe are at 3.75 and the draw at 3.4, which doesn't reflect their strong away form.
- Santos FC SP have been a pretty solid away side in Serie A 2026 overall, winning 5, drawing 4 and losing 5 away from home.
Prediction
- We're expecting a much closer game and a home edge still feels likeliest, although with Peixe averaging 1.64 goals scored and 1.64 conceded away, we think under 2.5 goals at 1.83 is a smart alternative option to take alongside Atletico Mineiro.
- However, Peixe have failed to win any of their last 3 away games versus Galo, so that gives the home team the edge on Sunday.
