Santos vs Remo prediction 02.04.2026 | Brazil Serie A

The Black-and-White survived by a narrow margin last season, and if you watch them now, it still feels like a team carrying that tension. One win in eight league games is not exactly reassuring.

Alexi Stival’s side are also on a four-match winless run, though three of those were draws, which at least shows some resistance.

At home, there is a slight lift. Their only win this season came in Vila Belmiro, so that might count for something. Still, performances have been uneven. Neymar’s situation adds another layer. He is easing his way back from knee surgery, and you can sense the hesitation around rushing him.

Vinicius Lira remains out with a serious knee injury, while Zé Rafael is dealing with a hamstring problem. It leaves the squad looking a bit thin in key moments.

Leão Azul’s return to Serie A was always going to be tough, and so far it looks exactly that. Sitting near the bottom, just two points above last place, the adjustment has been harsh.

There was that surprising 4-1 win over Bahia, which felt like a statement at the time. Since then, though, things have settled back into a more expected pattern.

Away form is a real concern. Three straight defeats on the road suggest a team that struggles once taken out of its comfort zone. Léo Condé’s side still carry some attacking threat, though.

Gabriel Taliari has started well with two goals, while Vitor Bueno plays just behind, trying to link things together. Injuries to Eduardo Melo, Diego Hernández and João Lucas do not help, especially for squad depth.
