How Santos are shaping up to face Corinthians in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

On Sunday afternoon (15th), at 4:00 PM (Brasília time), Corinthians visits Santos at Vila Belmiro in a match valid for the sixth round of the Brazilian Championship. In the first five rounds, the Corinthians team has two wins, one draw, and two losses, with five goals scored and five conceded, currently occupying tenth place.

But do you know how Corinthians' opponent is coming into the match? Central do Timão details Santos' situation so far this season. The Peixe is experiencing a year full of uncertainties and problems at the start of the season and is still struggling to establish a positive streak under the command of Juan Pablo Vojvoda, who, if Corinthians wins, could be dismissed, according to information from Baixada Santista.

Eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Paulistão by Novorizontino and counting on the return of Neymar, Santos has only five points in the Brasileirão and sits in 14th place, potentially dropping into the relegation zone depending on other results.

With that, a likely Santos starting lineup under Vojvoda should be: Brazão; Igor Vinicius, Adonis Frías, Luan Peres, and Vinicius Lira (Escobar); Willian Arão, Gabriel Menino, and Gabriel Bontempo; Rony, Gabriel Barbosa, and Neymar.

Keep an eye on the “Law of the Ex”:

Willian Arão – Developed in Corinthians' youth academy, Arão made his professional debut in 2012 and was part of the squad that won the Libertadores and the Club World Cup that same year. In total, he played 18 matches wearing the black and white shirt before being loaned out in the 2013 and 2014 seasons. The midfielder has played for Santos since July of last year and could be one of the candidates to enforce the so-called “Law of the Ex” in the derby.
