Bitesize Prediction: Santos vs CRB – 17/11/24

Competition: Brazil Serie B

Market: Santos win

Odds: 6/11 @ 1xBet

With a real party atmosphere in their camp, Santos will welcome CRB to the Vila Belmiro on Sunday night.

Starting with the hosts, officially securing an immediate Serie A return last weekend, Santos are in the midst of what has been a real second-tier flurry. Putting in another dominant display last weekend as they clinched a 2-0 victory away at Coritiba, Fabio Carille’s men have continued to receive a string of plaudits. Opening November with a thumping 3-0 romp against Vila Nova, the Peixe will be looking to lay down another marker on Sunday night. In fact, the former Corinthians boss has seen his squad win all of their previous four straight Serie B showdowns by an aggregate score of 8-0. Knowing that they can officially be crowned as second-tier champions this weekend, Santos will be excited by their extended success at the back. Along with not conceding a single Serie B strike over the past month, Santos are rightfully pencilled in as a standout contender here. It should also be noted, on a run that stems all the way back to August 17th, Carille’s side are unbeaten in all of their previous eight straight matchups in front of their own supporters.

As for the visitors, making an immediate return to losing ways last weekend as they slumped to a 1-0 loss at home against Goias, CRB have a real battle on their hands in the race to keep hold of their Serie B status. Opening up Sunday’s showdown holding just a one-point buffer from slipping into the relegation zone, the Alagoas-based outfit are bracing themselves for what could be a must-win showdown on Sunday night. Signing off October with a 2-1 loss against Coritiba, Daniel Paulista’s men have now lost three of their previous four Serie B appearances. Likewise, putting just a trio of victories on the board since way back on July 20th, CRB couldn’t have asked for a tougher challenge when they travel to the Vila Belmiro this weekend. Facing what is a real uphill battle, it is no surprise that Paulista’s downbeat squad are tipped as a landslide underdog here. Two sides who are scraping it out at opposite ends of the table, we are backing a home victory on Sunday night.
