Sao Paulo will host Vasco da Gama at MorumBIS on Thursday in another round of the 2025 Brasileirao Serie A campaign. The home side have endured a poor start to their league season despite exploits on the continental stage and in the domestic cup, and now sit 13th in the table with just 12 points after 11 games.
They suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat away at Bahia in their last match, finding themselves two goals down in the second half before Luciano pulled one back for Soberano from the spot five minutes from normal time.
Vasco da Gama have not fared any better than their midweek opponents in the Brazilian top flight this term. They suffered a disappointing 2-0 home defeat to Red Bull Bragantino in their last match, conceding both goals in the first-half and had multiple chances to get on the scoresheet but were guilty of wasteful finishing.
