Santos and Vasco da Gama are set for a tightly contested match in the Liga Portugal, with both teams not having secured a win yet in Serie A. Vasco da Gama's recent form includes a five-match losing streak while Santos have shown strong home performance with seven wins in their last eight home matches. This sets up an intriguing encounter that is expected to be closely contested. Bettors should consider wagering on a draw or a Vasco win with the possibility of both teams scoring and the odds being attractive for such outcomes.

Santos and Vasco da Gama are yet to win in Serie A which makes this a crunch clash. Both teams are having issues keeping clean sheets, a score draw on the cards in Brazil.

Key Stats


  • Santos are undefeated in 14 of in their last 15 home matches.
  • Santos have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 5 matches.
  • Vasco da Gama have drawn 3 of their last 6 away matches.

HTH


Santos lead Vasco da Gama 22-17 in the head to head alongside 18 draws.

Santos Form


Santos snuck into the Paulista playoffs on goal difference after winning three of their eight group games. Gabriel Barbosa scored twice in a 6-0 win over Velo Clube on the final matchday.

The Sao Paulo club lost 2-1 at Serie B side Novorizontino in the quarter-finals. Neymar started but they had no excuses after ending with 0.68-2.50 xG.

Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s side are yet to win in Serie A, conceding seven goals in three matches.

Vasco da Gama Form


Vasco da Gama has few problems advancing in the Carioca and snuck past Volta Redonda in the Taca Guanabara quarter-finals. They dominated the game that ended 1-1 before winning the penalty shootout.

The club from Rio de Janeiro fell in the semi-finals after a 1-0 home defeat to Fluminense. They registered just 0.17 xG despite playing against 10 men for over 25 minutes, manager Fernando Diniz sacked after the loss.

Vasco have picked up one point in three Serie A contests, the latest a 1-0 defeat against Bahia despite ending with 1.71-0.38 xG. Bruno Lazaroni has taken over on a caretaker basis, Artur Jorge and Leonardo Jardim reportedly in the running to become the next boss.

Verdict

Santos and Vasco da Gama are having almost identical campaigns, knocked out of the regional Cups and without a win in Serie A. I am expecting a close clash in Brazil.
