Barreal and Guilherme star in Santos attack, see the stats | OneFootball

Santos faces Atlético-MG this Sunday at Arena MRV, for the 23rd round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The team is trying to distance itself from the relegation zone and is betting on Barreal and Guilherme, the squad’s leaders in goal involvements in the competition.

Barreal has scored five goals in the Brasileirão and is looking to impress Juan Pablo Vojvoda. The Argentine, who last scored against Juventude at Morumbis, has been establishing himself as a key player in the offensive sector.

Guilherme, in turn, is Santos’ top scorer this season and also stands out in the competition, with three goals and two assists. His most recent contribution was decisive in the 2-1 victory over Cruzeiro at Mineirão, in the 19th round.

The two lead the club’s ranking for direct goal involvements and are ahead of some of the squad’s biggest names. Right behind them are Tiquinho Soares, with one goal and three assists, and Neymar, who has found the net three times. These numbers highlight the importance of Barreal and Guilherme for Peixe’s current moment, as the team needs offensive efficiency to recover in the championship.

The mission, however, will not be easy. Atlético-MG is seeking a reaction after being eliminated from the Copa do Brasil and is going through a four-game winless streak. The match kicks off at 4 p.m. (Brasília time).
