Palmeiras vs Santos FC Prediction: Victory For The Greens
Round 32 of the Brasileirão brings an exciting clash as Palmeiras face Santos FC at the Allianz Parque on November 7, 2025. This fixture marks their first encounter of the season after the initial meeting in June was postponed.
Current Form and Context
With 33 points from 30 matches, Santos FC sits in 16th position, finally stepping out of the relegation zone where they were trapped for over six weeks. Their improvement followed a crucial managerial change that altered the team's course.
Managerial Changes and Team Revival
The dismissal of former manager Cleber Xavier proved decisive. Under his short tenure, which ended after a painful 6-0 loss to Vasco da Gama, the team managed five wins, four draws, and six defeats in fifteen games. Juan Pablo took over at a critical moment and gradually restored discipline and morale.
“Juan Pablo picked the team from a desperate situation, and since then, has pulled the team through media mockery to simple decency.”
Recent Performances
- A spirited 3-1 victory in the return leg against Corinthians Paulista, redeeming their earlier 1-0 defeat in May.
- A narrow loss to Vitoria, followed by a 2-2 draw with Botafogo after an intense contest.
- A hard-fought 1-1 draw with Fortaleza, coming from behind in the 74th minute to equalize.
Outlook
Santos FC’s steady improvement suggests resilience, yet Palmeiras, strong at home and consistent in form, are expected to hold the advantage in this fixture.
