Santos raise alarm over late Brasileirão refereeing, find out why | OneFootball

Santos has only two more games to play in the Brazilian Championship and is trying to avoid relegation. One decisive factor could be the discipline of the players.

The team arrives for the match against Juventude, in the 37th round, with 10 players at risk of suspension. They are: Gabriel Brazão, João Basso, Adonis Frías, Luisão, Igor Vinícius, Escobar, Zé Rafael, Neymar, Barreal, and Lautaro Díaz.

In other words, any of these athletes who receive a yellow card in Caxias do Sul will have to miss the final round against Cruzeiro at Vila Belmiro.

Wilton Pereira Sampaio has been chosen to referee Santos vs. Juventude this Wednesday at 7:30 PM (Brasília time). Bruno Raphael Pires and Daniella Coutinho Pinto will be the assistants. The VAR will be handled by Rodrigo Nunes de Sa.

Santos can no longer reach the final round free from relegation concerns. Therefore, it is crucial to face Cruzeiro with full strength.

Currently, Santos is in the 16th position in the Brasileirão, with 41 points, the same as Internacional, which is at the top of the relegation zone. The team from São Paulo has an advantage in goal difference.

Yellow cards, by the way, could be a tiebreaker criterion at the end of the tournament. Today, the Alvinegro Praiano has 88, three more than Inter. Additionally, there are four red cards for the Alvinegros and seven for the Colorados.
