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 Juan Vojvoda has a good track record: they haven't lost to the Gigante da Colina at the Baixada Santista since 2017.
Santos' last defeat to Vasco at Vila Belmiro happened on November 8, 2017, during 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 record, with three wins and two draws.
Despite maintaining a good record when playing at Vila Belmiro, Santos does not have good recent memories of hosting a match against Vasco. In last year's Brazilian Championship, Alvinegro Praiano decided to host the Gigante da Colina at Morumbis and was thrashed in the São Paulo capital.
In that match, the last before Vojvoda took over the team, Santos lost 6-0, with goals from Coutinho (2), Lucas Piton, David, Rayan, and Tchê Tchê.

Just like last year, Santos is not having a good moment this season. Last Sunday, they lost to Novorizontino 2-1 in the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Paulista and were eliminated.
The situation in the Brazilian Championship is not good either. So far, they have only earned one point from a 1-1 draw against São Paulo. In the other two matches, they lost to Chapecoense and Athletico-PR, and currently occupy 18th place in the national competition standings.
