Team News

Athletico Paranaense
Santos FC
  • Léo Citaddini left injured against Ceará and will join Bruno Guimarães on the sidelines.
  • Khelven is with the U-20 Brazilian squad and will miss out here.
  • Vitinho, who was not expected to start, will seve a match ban after being sent off against Ceará.
  • Conversely, Wellington and Nikão will return and will likely start.
  • Jonathan, Pedro Henrique and Márcio Azevedo should be restored to the starting XI after being rested last weekend.
  • Yeferson Soteldo, Pará, Luan Peres and Jean Mota could bring fresh legs after serving their respective bans last weekend.
  • Felipe Jonatan will start at left-back if Jorge fails to recover from muscular discomfort.
  • Jorge Sampaoli opted for a 3-4-3 formation last time around but he's expected to revert to his usual 4-3-3 system here.

Prediction

  • Athletico's winning streak came to an end last weekend as they were held to a draw by Ceará. However, they've guaranteed a Copa Libertadores spot and will aim for a top-4 finish now.
  • Santos bounced back from an away defeat at the hands of Fortaleza with a convincing win over Chapecoense which allow them to keep a three-point gap to rivals Palmeiras. They're one win away from finishing second.
  • A loss wouldn't be the end of the world for either side, so they're both expected to attack from the start. A high-scoring draw is on the cards.
