📰 Team News: Santos

Vinicius Lira (Cruciate ligament injury), Gustavinho (Hamstring injury), Lautaro Díaz (Hamstring injury), Gabriel Menino (Hamstring injury) and Mayke (Virus) aren’t available for Santos gaffer Cuca Stival. Gabriel Brazão cannot play in this game through suspension.

In all likelihood, Peixe could use a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, beginning the first half with Diogenes, Igor Vinícius, Lucas Verissimo, Joao Ananias, Gonzalo Escobar, Joao Schmidt, Christian Oliva, Gabriel Bontempo, Benjamín Rollheiser, Neymar Jr and Gabriel Barbosa.

ℹ️ Team News: Red Bull Bragantino

It’s our belief that Leão da Zona seem most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 system using Tiago Volpi, Jose Andres Hurtado, Alix, Gustavo Marques, Juninho Capixaba, Eric Ramires, Gabriel, Lucas Barbosa, Eduardo Sasha, José Herrera and Isidro Pitta.

💭 Prediction

Our feeling is that Red Bull Bragantino could find themselves up against it to find the net against this Santos side who we think might well get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

We’re therefore expecting a very competitive game with a 1-0 win for Santos after 90 minutes.

Looking forward to watching this one unfold.
