📋 Team News: Santos

Alex (Thigh Problems), Sandry (Facial Fracture), Renyer (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Felipe Jonatan (Ruptured knee ligament), Yeferson Soteldo (Muscle Injury) and Luan Dias (Muscle Injury) are not available for Santos gaffer Odair Hellmann. Eduardo Bauermann cannot play in this game through suspension.

We are thinking that Peixe should use a 4-2-3-1 system for this game featuring João Paulo, Nathan, Messias, Joaquim, Gabriel Inocencio, Rodrigo Fernández, Dodi, Angelo Borges, Lucas Lima, Lucas Braga and Deivid Washington.

📰 Team News: Palmeiras

Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira has to currently contend with reduced team options. Eduard Atuesta (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Marcos Rocha (Hamstring Injury) and Murilo (Shoulder Injury) miss out here.

We believe Verdão seem likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting Weverton, Mayke, Gustavo Gomez, Luan, Vanderlan, Gabriel Menino, Fabinho, Artur, Raphael Veiga, Dudu and Rony.

💭 Prediction

We feel that Santos will really need to work well to see themselves scoring against this Palmeiras team who will likely score at least once to gain the upper hand.

We’re going for a good battle with a 0-1 winning score for Palmeiras when the full-time whistle blows.

It should be a good one.
