Santos look to extend long unbeaten run against Vasco at the Vila | OneFootball

In a poor phase this season, Santos is seeking its first victory in the Brazilian Championship. The Alvinegro Praiano hosts Vasco at Vila Belmiro for the fourth round of the Brazilian Championship. Trying to gain momentum this season, the team led by Hernán Crespo has a good track record: they haven't lost to the Gigante da Colina since 2017 when playing in the Baixada Santista.

The last defeat of Santos to Vasco at Vila Belmiro happened on November 8, 2017, in the 33rd round of that Brazilian Championship. On that occasion, the team from Rio won 2-1, with goals from Evander and Nenê, while Ricardo Oliveira scored for Santos.

Since then, Santos has hosted Vasco at Vila Belmiro five more times and has a good performance record, with three wins and two draws.

Thrashing in the last duel

Despite maintaining a good track record playing at Vila Belmiro, Santos does not have good recent memories of hosting a duel with Vasco. In last year's Brazilian Championship, the Alvinegro Praiano decided to host the Gigante da Colina at Morumbi and was thrashed in the São Paulo capital.

In that duel, the last before Vojvoda took over the team, Santos lost 6-0, with goals from Coutinho (2), Lucas Piton, David, Rayan, and Tchê Tchê.

Turbulent moment

Just like last year, Santos is not having a good moment this season. Last Sunday, they lost to Novorizontino 2-1 in the quarter-finals of the Paulista Championship and were eliminated.

The situation in the Brazilian Championship is also not good. So far, they have only scored one point in a 1-1 draw against São Paulo. In the other two matches, they lost to Chapecoense and Athletico-PR, and occupy the 18th position in the national competition standings.
