ℹ️ Team News: Santos

We think that Peixe should kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system, beginning the first half with Gabriel Brazão, Igor Vinícius, Adonis Frías, Luan Peres, Vinicius Lira, Joao Schmidt, Zé Rafael, Alvaro Barreal, Gabriel Menino, Rony and Gabriel Barbosa.

📰 Team News: São Paulo

It’s our belief that Tricolor Paulista seem likely to elect for a 3-5-2 formation using 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.
