Santos are strong favorites to beat Macara in this Copa Sudamericana clash, thanks to their superior quality and Macara's lackluster away form. Bettors are advised to back a Santos victory, especially with plenty of goals expected. Both teams to score, Santos to win with over 2.5 goals, and over 3.5 total goals are highlighted as the top betting options. The key conclusion is to support a home win, with goals forecast as the likely outcome.

H2H - First Meeting


This will be the first-ever meeting between Santos and Macara

Santos Decent in Sao Paulo


Santos are a solid side and have lost five of their previous 23 matches in all competitions. They have won six home matches during that period. 

Cuca's side won three matches in a row at home, beating Deportivo Cuenca 3-0, Vitoria 3-1 and Uniao Sao Joao 3-0. Santos' winning streak came to an end after a 2-1 away defeat at Botafogo. 

The Brazilian outfit hit back with a five-match unbeaten streak, including Copa Sudamericana 4-1 and 4-2 wins over Universidad Central. 

The Black and Whites' unbeaten spell ended following a 2-0 defeat to Athletico Paranaense. Santos had 22 shots, 1.64 XG and conceded twice in the opening 26 minutes. 

Macara Get Amongst the Away Goals


Ecuadorian side Macara have been high-scoring recently, scoring 18 and conceding seven in their last seven fixtures.

The Sky Blues have been patchy away recently and failed to win in two of their last four on the road. A 2-1 defeat at Delfin and a 1-1 draw with Gualaceo came before a 2-1 home win over Guayaquil City.

Macara also beat Barcelona Sporting Club 2-1 on Sunday. Mateo Viera scored a first-half brace and the Sky Blues conceded in the 54th minute.
