Santos and Vitória Announce Lineups for Brasileirão Matchup

Santos and Vitória are poised to compete this Saturday, September 30, at 8:00 p.m. at Vila Belmiro in their 18th round encounter of the Brasileirão. Fans can catch the action live on SporTV and Premiere.

As it stands, Santos finds themselves in a precarious position at 17th place in the standings, currently facing relegation with just 18 points. In contrast, Vitória holds a more comfortable spot at 11th with 22 points.

For this matchup, Santos' coach Cuca is set to implement two changes following their recent 3-0 victory against Deportivo Cuenca in the Copa Sudamericana.

Additionally, Lucas Veríssimo will make his return to the starting eleven, while Adonís Frias will revert to the bench.

The lineup for Santos features Gabriel Brazão in goal, supported by Igor Vinícius, Lucas Veríssimo, Luan Peres, and Escobar in defense. The midfield will include Willian Arão and Christian Oliva, with Gabriel Bontempo, Miguelito, and Barreal providing support to striker Gabigol.

This match is crucial for both teams as they aim to improve their standings in the league.
