On November 7, 2025, Round 32 of the Brasileirão will feature Palmeiras hosting Santos FC at the Allianz Parque. This marks their first meeting of the season after the earlier fixture in June was postponed.
Santos FC currently sit in sixteenth place with thirty-three points from thirty matches. After spending over six weeks in the relegation zone, the team has managed to climb out of immediate danger. The turnaround began after the dismissal of Cleber Xavier, whose brief spell ended following a heavy 6-0 defeat to Vasco da Gama. During his fifteen games in charge, he achieved five wins, four draws, and six losses.
New manager Juan Pablo took over the squad in a struggling state and guided them toward stability and renewed confidence. Under his leadership, Santos FC have moved from media criticism to a more respectable footing as the season nears its conclusion.
"Santos FC got another point in the eventual 1-1 scoreline, coming from behind in the 74th minute to nullify the advantage gained by the visitors ten minutes before halftime."
Meanwhile, Palmeiras enter this match in a commanding position and look to capitalize on Santos FC’s inconsistent form. The home advantage at the Allianz Parque could prove decisive as The Greens aim to consolidate their top-table standing.
Palmeiras face a revived but fragile Santos FC, whose gradual improvement under Juan Pablo contrasts with Palmeiras' consistent dominance at home.
