Santos have Neymar back, Dorival shakes up Corinthians attack, see line-ups | OneFootball

Santos and Corinthians are set for the classic match this Sunday, for the sixth round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball will start rolling at 4 PM (Brasília time) on the field of Vila Belmiro.

Santos Lineup

Under pressure, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda made several changes to Santos. Besides promoting Neymar's return, he set up the team with three defenders and removed Willian Arão and João Schmidt from the starting lineup. As a result, the young midfielder from the youth team Gustavo Henrique and the newly arrived Christian Oliva got their chances.

The Alvinegro Praiano also has a new addition on the bench: Lucas Veríssimo, a reinforcement for the defense. With Vojvoda suspended, the team is led by assistant Gastón Liendo on the sidelines.

The Peixe lineup includes: Gabriel Brazão; Adonis Frías, Zé Ivaldo, and Luan Peres; Rony, Gustavo Henrique, Oliva, Gabriel Bontempo, and Barreal; Neymar and Gabigol.

Midfielder Matheus Pereira, who also recovered from a muscular issue, is an option on the bench for the match.

The Timão lineup includes: Hugo Souza; Matheuzinho, Gabriel Paulista, Gustavo Henrique, and Matheus Bidu; Raniele, André, Carrillo, and Breno Bidon; Kaio César and Memphis Depay.

How are the teams arriving?

Both teams arrive under pressure for the match. The duel will carry extra weight for Vojvoda, who might even leave his position if Santos has a poor result or performance. The Peixe comes from a draw with Mirassol and occupies the 14th position in the table, with five points.

Corinthians also experienced a week full of demands. The players heard protests from fans after the defeat to Coritiba on Wednesday and from organized groups last Friday at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center. Timão is in tenth place in the Brasileirão, with seven points.
