Players to watch out for:

Álvaro Barreal (Santos FC)

Despite an underwhelming campaign from Santos so far, Álvaro Barreal have emerged as one of their top performers. He is the top goalscorer for his team with seven goals in the league. He mainly operates in the midfield but can push up the field when needed. The Argentine will be coming into this game high on confidence, and fans will be expecting an incredible display from him against Vitória.

Renato Kayzer (Vitória)

The Brazilian striker is the top goalscorer for his team in the ongoing league campaign. He has found the back of the net on eight occasions in 21 appearances. He scored the opening goal of the match from the spot against Bahia, and that will give him a huge confidence boost. Santos have shown their defensive vulnerability this season, and Kayzer can certainly take advantage of that.
