Players to watch out for:

Álvaro Barreal (Santos FC)

Despite an underwhelming campaign from his club so far, Álvaro Barreal has emerged as one of their top performers. He primarily operates in the midfield but can push forward when needed. The Argentine was incredible last season as he scored nine goals for them in the league.

Fans will be expecting a great display from him against Atlético Mineiro.

Victor Hugo (Atlético Mineiro)

The Brazilian attacking midfielder is the highest goalscorer for his team in the league. He has found the back of the net on three occasions in 10 appearances. He is a great box-to-box midfielder who tirelessly covers every blade of grass.

Hugo contributes massively in both offence and defence. He will be vital for Atlético Mineiro.
