Players to Watch

Neymar Jr (Santos)

Even though he has not performed up to his standards this season, the 33-year-old has a big chance to come up with a top performance against the table toppers. The Brazilian forward is yet to score a goal for his side this season. This will be a perfect opportunity for Neymar to get one.

Jorginho (Flamengo)

Jorginho is going to play an important role in controlling the midfield for Flamengo. The team with better control in the midfield is most likely to come out on top as the better team. Jorginho can help his side do that.

He can also score goals, which will be a big add-on for them.
