The Fish beat Vitória 1-0 away and finally won under Cléber Xavier. The win was crucial because Santos hadn't won for seven games and because it came against a direct opponent in the relegation battle. Guilherme scored with a header in the 18th minute after a cross from Souza. Guilherme had missed a one-on-one with goalkeeper Lucas Arcanjo a few minutes earlier but managed to redeem himself. Santos had a good first half and defended well in the second half. Neymar made his return to the Brasileirão in the 64th minute and was important for Santos in winning some free-kicks.

Santos vs Botafogo match prediction 01 June 2025
It's a game where anything can happen because although Botafogo is the champion, it hasn't won at the Vila Belmiro since 2013. Santos is in the relegation zone but won in the last round, and Neymar is back, so confidence is high. The Cariocas only have four points more than Santos, so they're also under pressure to win. On top of that, Botafogo still hasn't scored a goal away from home, which is remarkable. I'm betting on a Double Chance in favor of Santos, with a maximum of three goals scored in the match.
