Cuca sticks with same XI as Santos face Athletico-PR | OneFootball

Santos will face Athletico-PR at Vila Belmiro on Sunday at 18:30 Brasília time in the 22nd round of the Campeonato Brasileiro, with Cuca naming an unchanged side and Neymar not involved. According to Diario Do Peixe, the coach has kept the line-up he worked on in training this week.

Gabriel Brazão starts in goal. The back four is Gabriel Menino on the right, Adonis Frías and João Ananias in the middle, and Escobar on the left.

João Schmidt and Christian Oliva sit deeper, with Gabriel Bontempo positioned ahead to link play.

Barreal begins on the left, Gustavo Caballero occupies the other flank, and Gabigol leads the line.

Santos begin the round in 16th place on 22 points, level with Internacional, who open the relegation zone. A home win could help create breathing space from the Z-4 and sustain the momentum from reaching the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals.
