📰 Team News: Juventude
Emerson Galego (Injury to the ankle), Daniel Peixoto (muscular problems), Lucas Fernandes (muscular problems), Wilker Ángel (Muscle injury) and Gilberto (muscular problems) are unavailable for Juventude manager Thiago Carpini.
It seems likely that Juve will possibly line up in a 3-5-2 formation with Jandrei, Luan Freitas, Rodrigo Sam, Marcos Paulo, Igor Marques, Jadson, Mandaca, Peixoto, Marcelo Hermes, Nene and Bill.
📋 Team News: Santos
Santos manager Juan Vojvoda has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Gonzalo Escobar (Hamstring injury) and Tiquinho Soares (Knee problems) are those who can’t be considered.
We’re of the thinking that Peixe seem likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with Gabriel Brazão, Igor Vinícius, Adonis Frías, Zé Ivaldo, João Souza, Joao Schmidt, Willian Arao, Alvaro Barreal, Neymar Jr, Guilherme Augusto and Lautaro Diaz.
💭 Prediction
We’re of the opinion that Juventude will need things to go their way to hit the back of the net against this Santos lineup who we think will emerge victorious.
That’s why we have predicted a highly competitive game with a 0-1 advantage for Santos when all is said and done.
We’ll see what happens.
