Novorizontino vs Santos Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The hosts set for a clash against Neymar Jr. and Co.

Novorizontino will be hosting Santos FC of Brazilian Campeonato Paulista 2025. The hosts are doing well and are in the second spot in the Group C standings. They have only been able to bag a couple of wins but have drawn four matches, giving them a point each. Santos FC are in the third spot in the Group B standings.

Novorizontino will not be full of confidence as they were held to a draw in their previous Campeonato Paulista encounter. They conceded a goal in the final moments of the game because of their poor defence. They were good on attack but failed to convert their shots into goals. The hosts will be up for a big challenge when they go up against Neymar and Co.

Santos FC were also only able to secure a single point in their last game as they were held to a draw in their last Paulista A1 game. They conceded a goal in the second half and because of this, they were held to a draw by Botafogo. The coming match will be a crucial one for the visitors as well.

Players to Watch

Pablo Dyego (Novorizontino)

Pablo Dyego can make the defenders suffer if he comes in with his full potential. The Brazilian forward has scored a couple of goals and has provided one assist in eight Campeonato Paulista games. Novorizontino squad members should look to find Dyego in front as he can score goals and help his side earn some points.

Neymar Jr (Santos)

Making a comeback to his boyhood club, Neymar Jr received a heartwarming welcome from the fans. He played for a few minutes after he was subbed in. However, Neymar was unable to lead Santos to a win in his comeback game.

He is very experienced and will be looking to be on the scoresheet. Skilful and a good goal scorer, Neymar is an important part of his side.

Por mais que o resultado tenha sido ruim, hoje foi um dia muito especial.Obrigado a todos pelo carinho e por ter nos incentivado até o fim. Agora mais do que nunca precisamos de todo apoio dos nossos torcedores… porque com vocês somos mais fortes! Muito feliz e emocionado em… pic.twitter.com/lUEHmvljr6
