How is Santos doing?

Santos is trying to recover this season. The club went six matches without a win and ended the drought last Sunday by beating Noroeste 2-1 in the Paulista Championship. In the Brasileirão, the team has one loss (4-2 to Chapecoense) and one draw (1-1 with São Paulo).

Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda has a long list of absentees. João Basso (right calf edema), Adonis Frías (muscle injury in the right calf), Willian Arão (surgery to remove a kidney stone), and Zé Rafael (patellar tendinitis) are also in the medical department.

Neymar, on the other hand, is training normally with the squad but is still seeking ideal physical condition. Additionally, the match against Athletico-PR will be at Arena da Baixada, which has a synthetic pitch. The attacking midfielder has stated several times that he does not feel comfortable playing on this type of field.

On the other hand, midfielder Gustavo Henrique is a new addition. He has recovered from an adductor muscle injury in his right thigh and trained normally this Tuesday with the rest of the group. Vojvoda can also count on Moisés. The forward, who was at Fortaleza, was announced this Wednesday, registered in the BID, and can already make his debut.

How is Athletico doing?

Athletico is in a good moment. They have four consecutive wins this season, three in the Paranaense and one in the Brasileirão. In Serie A, the club started with a 1-0 victory over Internacional, away from home. The second-round match was postponed.
