Palmeiras vs Santos FC Prediction: Victory For The Greens

Match Preview and Context

On November 7, 2025, Palmeiras will host Santos FC at Allianz Parque for Round 32 of the Brasileirão. This is the first encounter between the two teams this season, as their June meeting was postponed.

Team Form and Standings

Santos FC currently holds sixteenth place with thirty-three points from thirty matches. After spending more than six weeks in the relegation zone, they have managed to climb out of danger.

The previous manager, Cleber Xavier, was dismissed following a heavy 6-0 defeat to Vasco da Gama. During his fifteen-game tenure, the team recorded five wins, four draws, and six losses.

Recent Performance Under New Management

New manager Juan Pablo took over the team during a difficult period and has gradually improved their performance amid criticism. Santos secured a 3-1 victory against their derby rivals Corinthians Paulista in the return leg, overturning a 1-0 loss in May.

They narrowly lost to Vitória but bounced back with a 2-2 draw against Botafogo in a tense match. Last week, Santos FC earned a 1-1 draw against Fortaleza, coming from behind in the 74th minute to equalize.

“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.”

Summary

With an improved form and tactical changes, Santos FC have shown resilience, but Palmeiras remain favorites at home.

Author’s Summary
