Santos faces Vasco this Thursday, in the fourth round of the Brazilian Championship. The Peixe needs to win to move away from crisis and is counting on the strength of Vila Belmiro to accomplish this mission.
This season, the club has played four matches at home. There have been two wins and two draws. The victories were against Novorizontino (2-1) and Velo Clube (6-0). The draws were against Corinthians and São Paulo, both 1-1.
Santos’ last defeat at Vila Belmiro was on October 20, 2025, when Vitória pulled off a surprise and won 1-0. Since then, there have been nine games, with five wins and four draws.
This Thursday, therefore, Peixe will try to maintain this unbeaten streak to ward off the crisis.
Eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Paulista, the club is going through a worrying moment in the Brasileirão. In three matches, the Alvinegro Praiano has one draw and two defeats. With only one point, the team goes into the round in 18th place.
