- Santos are all about structure and discipline and prefer to have the ball in their possession as they look to be compact and make the odd piece of brilliance from someone like Neymar do the damage.
- Álvaro Barreal has been a reliable goal and assist source for Santos, but without him, they have been lacking in firepower.
Mirassol (away)
