📰 Team News: Santos

In all likelihood, Peixe look set to opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game and select Gabriel Brazão, Igor Vinícius, Adonis Frías, Luan Peres, Vinicius Lira, Joao Schmidt, Zé Rafael, Alvaro Barreal, Gabriel Menino, Rony and Gabriel Barbosa.

ℹ️ Team News: São Paulo

From our viewpoint, Tricolor Paulista seem most likely to begin the game with a 3-5-2 formation with a starting lineup of Rafael, Sabino, Robert Arboleda, Alan Franco, Maik, Damián Bobadilla, Danielzinho, Marcos Antônio, Enzo Díaz, Jonathan Calleri and Luciano.

🧠 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that São Paulo might have a difficult job to break down this Santos side who should score one, at least.

We’re therefore predicting a highly competitive game with a 1-0 win for Santos at the conclusion of the game.

We’ll see what happens.
