📰 Team News: Santos

The Santos manager Fabián Bustos does not have any fitness worries to speak of before this clash thanks to a completely injury-free group available to choose from.

🗞️ Team News: Coritiba

Owing to an otherwise available group of players, there’s only a single fitness problem for the Coritiba boss Gustavo Morínigo to contend with. Neílton (Arthroscopie) misses out for this game.

✨ Prediction

Our assessment here is that Coritiba will need things to go their way to score goals against this Santos outfit who we think will likely manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

We therefore fancy a very even contest with a 1-0 advantage for Santos at the end of this game.
