Santos v São Paulo: where to watch Brasileirão round 24 clash | OneFootball

Santos hosts São Paulo this Sunday, for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball will roll on the Vila Belmiro pitch, in Santos (SP), starting at 8:30 PM (Brasília time).

Where to watch?

The match between Santos and São Paulo will be broadcast live on SporTV (cable TV), and Premiere (pay-per-view).

How is Santos coming into the match?

Santos is coming off a 1-1 draw with Atlético-MG, away from home. The team from São Paulo managed to equalize in the final minutes, even with one player less. However, in the season, it’s now four games without a win, with two losses and two draws. Peixe started the round in 16th place, with 23 points, just one ahead of Vitória, who is the first team in the relegation zone.

For the derby, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda will not have Neymar. The attacking midfielder felt muscle discomfort in his thigh and will miss the game.

Gabriel Brazão is another doubt. The goalkeeper left the match against Galo in an ambulance due to a blow to the head. On the other hand, the coach will have Rollheiser back. The attacking midfielder served a suspension against Atlético-MG. Another new addition is Alexis Duarte. The defender is now officially registered with the CBF’s BID.

On the other hand, Vojvoda still won’t have Willian Arão. The midfielder is not yet training with the squad, although the medical department believes he is in the final stages of recovery from a calf injury.

Zé Ivaldo is another definite absence. The defender was sent off in Belo Horizonte. Igor Vinícius is also unavailable. The right-back is suspended due to yellow card accumulation. Finally, Gabriel Bontempo is recovering from a muscle injury.

How is São Paulo coming into the match?

São Paulo, on the other hand, comes into the match shaken after suffering a tough 2-0 defeat to LDU in Quito last Thursday, in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals. In the Brazilian Championship, however, Tricolor Paulista is coming off a 1-0 win over Botafogo, which kept the team among the competition’s frontrunners.

The capital club currently occupies seventh place in the national tournament, with 35 points earned.

Coach Hernán Crespo is expected to make changes to the lineup with an eye on the return leg against LDU. To preserve Cédric, the current starting right-back, Maílton may get his first start for the team.

Additionally, with Tápia (suspended) out, Dinenno is expected to appear in the starting eleven, replacing Luciano. Left-back Enzo Díaz may also be rested, giving way to Patryk. Calleri, André Silva, and Ryan Francisco remain sidelined, recovering from their respective physical issues.

The good news is that Oscar and Luiz Gustavo may return after training normally with their teammates.

Refereeing

The match will be officiated by Bruno Arleu de Araújo, from Rio de Janeiro, with assistants Rafael da Silva Alves, from Rio Grande do Sul, and Luiz Cláudio Regazone, also from Rio de Janeiro. The VAR team will be led by Wagner Reway, from Santa Catarina.
