Vila Belmiro turns into a goal factory whenever these two meet in the Brasileirão. Four of the last five head-to-head clashes have settled on exactly three goals, and that trend alone has our match prediction locked onto the over. Cruzeiro rolls into São Paulo full of running, 38 goals already banked in the league, while Santos aren't far behind on 37.

Peixe comes off a red-hot week, dispatching Atlético-MG 2-0 in the Copa Sudamericana before turning their attention back to the table. Cuca's side sit down in 13th on 32 points, but don't let that fool you. Santos have won both of their last two meetings with Raposa, five goals shared between the pair.

Look closer at that record and the bet practically writes itself. Santos put Cruzeiro away 3-0 at home and snatched a 2-1 win on the road last year, both games winning the over 2.5 goals bet. Despite this season's reverse fixture fizzling out 0-0 in March, four of the last five games between Santos and Cruzeiro have produced 3+ goals.

Additionally, Raposa hasn't beaten Peixe since a 3-0 shocker back in 2023. But they have hardly been shy in front of goal themselves, putting three past Athletico Paranaense last time out to sit sixth.
