Vitória vs Santos: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on May 26, 2025
Neymar will undoubtedly be the star of the match between Vitória and Santos in Salvador. The controversial player made his comeback in the game against CRB in the Copa do Brasil, but was unable to prevent Santos from being knocked out of the competition. Santos is going through a terrible time and is a strong candidate for relegation.

Vitória lost away to rival Bahia in the last round and dropped to 16th place in the standings. The Bahia derby left its mark on the Vitória players, as they could have done much better. Bahia played with ten men from the fifth minute and won 2-1, causing Vitória coach Thiago Carpini to say that his team was incompetent. Carpini's criticism was surely intended to provoke a reaction from his players in the next game against Santos, a direct opponent in the relegation fight. The Lion conceded a goal in the 23rd minute but managed to equalize in the 54th minute through Renato Kayzer. However, the home team scored again in the 66th minute, with Vitória's defense being too passive. In the 77th minute, Pepê received a red card, and Vitória was down to ten players, like its rival. From then on, Bahia controlled the game until the end.
Vitória: Lineup
Matheuzinho has completed his ban and is back. Pepê was shown the red card against Bahia and is suspended.

Santos: Form and statistics
Last week was a nightmare for Santos. In the league, the Fish lost 1-0 to rival Corinthians with a goal from Yuri Alberto in the 66th minute. Gabriel Brazão saved the striker's header, but VAR checked that the ball had already crossed the goal line. Escobar was shown the red card in the 80th minute, and Santos ended the game with ten players. Santos is still 19th in the table with five points. In midweek, Cléber Xavier's team faced CRB in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil third round. The game was highly anticipated as Neymar could finally return. The number 10 was on the bench and came on in the 66th minute. The tie was decided on penalties, and Santos lost. Neymar converted his penalty, but José Ivaldo and Guilherme missed. The Série B team only missed one and qualified for the next stage. It was Xavier's fifth game as Santos' coach. Tite's former assistant has no wins so far.
Santos: Lineup
The big news for Santos could be the inclusion of Neymar in the starting eleven. The star came on in the 65th minute of the cup game and could make the starting eleven. Whether he can play 90 minutes is another matter. Soteldo has picked up another injury and is out of the team. Escobar was sent off in the game with Corinthians and will have to serve time. Zé Ivaldo is also suspended after picking up his third yellow card. Gil has yet to return to training and is considering retiring.
🔖Santos starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Gabriel Brazão – Godoy, João Basso, Luan Peres, Souza – Rincón, Zé Rafael – Rollheiser, Neymar, Guilherme – Tiquinho Soares
⛔️Out: João Schmidt, Soteldo, Aderlan, Pituca (injured), Gil (unavailable), Zé Ivaldo, Escobar (suspended)
👤Head Coach: Cléber Xavier
