This is the playoff round of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, with Santos hosting UCV FC. CheckLive has no clear favourite for this tie, meaning it is a genuinely open contest where a draw is as viable as either side winning.
Santos come into this match on the back of four wins from their last five games, including a 4-1 victory over UCV FC in the same competition. Their only recent loss was a 2-1 defeat to Botafogo. UCV FC, by contrast, have lost four of their last five, with the sole exception a 1-0 win over Libertad; they were beaten 4-1 by Santos last time out.
The head-to-head record shows just one previous meeting, a 4-1 win for Santos earlier in this competition. The key question is whether UCV FC can tighten up defensively after conceding heavily in recent outings, while Santos will look to exploit the momentum from their strong run.
