Players to watch out for:

Neymar Jr. (Santos FC)

The former FC Barcelona winger is a gem to have in your frontline. His technical ability on the ball is second to none as he strikes fear into the opposition defenders. Numerous injuries have certainly slowed him down, but his creativity and execution are still incredible.

Despite some doubts about his presence, Neymar can play a crucial role for Santos.

Matheus Martinelli (Fluminense)

The Brazilian midfielder has been exceptional so far this season. He has been instrumental in all his appearances and has scored some crucial goals as well. He mainly operates as a central midfielder but can also be effective as a single pivot.

The visitors will rely heavily on him as playing Santos at their own backyard will be a difficult task.
