Santos are all set to lock horns with Vasco da Gama in the match week 20 fixture of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A 2025 season. The interesting fixture between these clubs will take place at the MorumBIS.

Santos FC are coming in after taking down Cruzeiro in the previous match of the Campeonato Serie A. It was a good performance by Neymar and company. They will be looking to continue their winning run, but the upcoming fixture is not going to be an easy one for them.

Vasco da Gama are placed 17th on the Brazilian Serie A points table after their lacklustre show this season. Their past record against Santos FC has been decent enough, and they can put up a tough fight against them. It will be interesting to see their performance here.

The 26-year-old from Portugal has been one of the important players for Vasco da Gama this season. Nuno Moreira is good at controlling the midfield and will play a crucial role for his side yet again. He has four goal contributions in 17 league games in the ongoing season.
