Santos FC desperately need points on Wednesday, Oct 7 at 5:00 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Santos FC come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Flamengo, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Santos FC face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Flamengo have won 7 of 10 encounters. Their last encounter ended in Santos FC won 1–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Flamengo's quality should tell even on the road. Santos FC will push, but the visitors have too much class. Flamengo to win.
