Palmeiras will host Santos FC at Allianz Parque in Round 32 of the Brasileirão. This will be their first encounter this season after a June match was postponed.
Santos FC sits sixteenth with thirty-three points from thirty matches. After spending over six weeks in the relegation zone, they have recently improved their position.
The change in management played a key role. Former coach Cleber Xavier, who managed fifteen games with five wins, four draws, and six losses, was dismissed following a heavy 6-0 defeat to Vasco da Gama. His successor, Juan Pablo, inherited a struggling team and has gradually stabilized their performance.
"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."
The match promises to test whether Palmeiras can overcome a revitalized Santos FC side.
