Brazilian: without winning for 4 games, Vasco faces Santos in São Januário

There are four games without a win, Vasco da Gama receives Santos this Sunday afternoon (14), at the São Januário stadium, for the sixth round of the Brazilian Championship. With six points on the table, Cruzmaltino seeks to rediscover the path of victory against Santos, which reached seven points, after thrashing Bahia (3-0) last Wednesday (10). The duel at 4 pm (Brasília time) will be broadcast live on Rádio Nacional, with narration by Felipe Rangel, comments by Waldir Luiz, reporting by Rodrigo Ricardo and news duty by Bruno Mendes. In the history of clashes between the two clubs, balance reigns, with a slight advantage for Peixe. In 103 matches, the Paulistas won 36 against 35 from Rio: the rest were just draws. It’s been almost three years since the last clash between the two teams in São Januário. In the match, valid for the 26th round of the 2020 Brasileirão, Gigante da Colina won by 1-0. Wednesday (10). One of the main doubts of coach Maurício Barbieri concerns the midfield: midfielder Andrey is on loan to the Brazilian Under-20 team that will compete in the World Cup in Argentina and will be out for up to five games. The expectation is that Barbieri will take Léo Jardim to the field; Puma Rodríguez, Robson, Léo and Lucas Pitón; Rodrigo, Galarza and Jair; Gabriel Pec, Pedro Raul and Alex Teixeira.

Santos coach Odair Hellmann will have to work around the absence of strikers Marcos Leonardo – loaned to the Under-20 team – and Mendonza, who is recovering from an injury to his right thigh. Off the field, the club is experiencing a tense atmosphere, after the removal of defender Eduardo Bauermann, for involvement in the match-fixing scheme, according to an investigation by the Goiás Public Ministry (MP-GO).
