Flamengo alert: will Gabigol and Neymar face Palmeiras? Santos XI | OneFootball

Palmeiras vs Santos will be played on the synthetic turf at Allianz Parque

Flamengo only play on Sunday (03) in the Brasileirão, but Flamengo fans will be keeping an eye on this Saturday’s (02) match between Palmeiras and Santos on the synthetic turf at Allianz Parque. The Nação will get another chance to cheer for Gabigol, who is expected to start. Neymar, meanwhile, was not even included in the squad. Kickoff is at 6:30 PM (Brasília time).

WHAT IS SANTOS’ PROBABLE LINEUP?

Gabriel Brazão; Igor Vinicius (Mayke), Lucas Veríssimo, Luan Peres and Escobar; Oliva, João Schmidt (Arão), Gabriel Bontempo and Rollheiser; Gabigol and Barreal.

WHAT IS PALMEIRAS’ PROBABLE LINEUP?

Carlos Miguel; Giay, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, and Arthur; Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira, Allan and Arias; Sosa and Flaco López.

WHY IS NEYMAR OUT?

After Santos’ match against San Lorenzo (ARG) in the Copa Sudamericana in midweek, coach Cuca said Neymar and Gabigol were doubts because of Palmeiras’ synthetic pitch. Hours later, the former Flamengo player pushed back, saying he had never had any issue playing on artificial turf. However, ‘Ney’ really is unable to play at the venue and was left out of the squad list.

Besides Neymar, Santos will also be without Gabriel Menino, Lautaro Diaz, Gustavo Henrique and Thaciano, all ruled out by the medical department. Palmeiras, on the other hand, will still be without coach Abel Ferreira, who is suspended by the STJD. In the medical department are: Vitor Roque, Piquerez and Paulinho.

WHY ARE FLAMENGO FANS ROOTING AGAINST PALMEIRAS?

At the moment, Palmeiras lead the Brasileirão with 32 points, six ahead of Flamengo, who are in second place. However, the Rubro-Negro side have a game in hand. So it’s worth it for the Nação to tune in and root against Palmeiras on the pay-per-view channel Premiere, which will broadcast the clash exclusively. Coluna do Fla, of course, will bring you the match report as soon as the final whistle blows at Allianz Parque.
