Santos v Vasco: how to watch, key info and probable line-ups | OneFootball

Santos faces Vasco this Thursday, in the fourth round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball starts rolling at Vila Belmiro at 7:00 PM (Brasília time).

Where to watch Santos vs Vasco?

How is Santos coming into the match?

Santos is trying to recover after being eliminated from the Paulista Championship. The Peixe lost 2-1 to Novorizontino last Sunday and was knocked out in the quarterfinals. The defeat increased the pressure. Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s position is under threat. President Marcelo Teixeira and director Alexandre Mattos have also faced criticism.

In the Brasileirão, the club’s situation isn’t good either. In three matches, the Alvinegro Praiano has one draw and two losses. As a result, the team enters this round in 18th place, with just one point.

How is Vasco coming into the match?

Vasco’s situation in the competition is almost identical to Santos. The team is one position above in the standings due to goal difference. Otherwise, zero wins, two losses, and one draw.

Last Sunday, after the defeat to Fluminense in the first leg of the Carioca semifinals, coach Fernando Diniz couldn’t hold on and was dismissed. Still without a replacement, Bruno Lazaroni will lead the team at Vila Belmiro.

Santos lineup

Vojvoda once again has his full squad available. Neymar is expected to start at Vila Belmiro. The attacking midfielder played 90 minutes in Novo Horizonte.

The coach, however, may make some specific changes. On the left flank, Vinicius Lira could get a chance. In midfield, Gabriel Bontempo has been standing out and may start.

Probable Santos

Gabriel Brazão; Igor Vinicius, Adonis Frías, Luan Peres, and Vinicius Lira (Escobar); Willian Arão, Gabriel Menino, Gabriel Bontempo (Zé Rafael); Neymar, Gabigol, and Rony. Coach: Juan Pablo Vojvoda

Vasco lineup

The expectation is that the team that played on Sunday will remain unchanged. Midfielders Jair and Thiago Mendes, both injured, are still out.

Probable Vasco

Léo Jardim; Paulo Henrique, Saldivia, Robert Renan, and Puma Rodríguez; Cauan Barros, Tchê Tchê, and Rojas; Andrés Gómez, Spinelli, and Nuno Moreira Coach: Bruno Lazaroni (Interim)
