📋 Line-ups confirmed: Santos and Vasco look to turn things around in the BR

This Thursday night (26th) promises to be tense at Vila Belmiro.

Going through complicated times, Santos and Vasco face off starting at 7pm (Brasília time).

The match is valid for the fourth round of the 2026 Brasileirão. 

It brings together the two bottom teams in the table. 

SporTV and Premiere will broadcast the match. 



Santos 🐳

Peixe comes from being eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Paulistão.

And, just like their upcoming rival, is one of the teams that has yet to win in the Brasileirão.

There have been only three victories in 12 games this season. This moment leaves Vojvoda under pressure in his role.

President Marcelo Teixeira is another one facing pressure from the fans. 

Neymar will play his second match as a starter.

But Gabigol starts on the bench. 

Lautaro Díaz is back in the squad. But Robinho Jr. was left out again. 


Vasco 💢

The defeat in the first leg of the Carioca semifinals resulted in the dismissal of Fernando Diniz.

Cruz-Maltino has also won only three matches this season – in 11 games.

And its president Pedrinho faces strong pressure from part of the fans. 

Interim coach Bruno Lazaroni made some changes.

Thiago Mendes has recovered. Lucas Piton is back at left back. 

Cuiabano is an option.

There was an expectation that Marino Hinestroza would start, but that didn’t happen.
