Santos vs AE Velo Clube Team News

Santos manager Pintado faces a selection dilemma with several high-profile absences. Star forward Neymar and Gabriel Barbosa remain sidelined as they continue their respective fitness recoveries, while defenders Adonis Frías and Zé Rafael are out with injuries. In their absence, the creative burden falls on Thaciano and the young Miguelito, both of whom have shown flashes of brilliance in recent outings.

AE Velo Clube, currently managed by Lucas Zanella, enter the match as heavy underdogs but with the confidence of a fully fit squad. The Velão will likely adopt a compact 5-4-1 formation to stifle the Santos attack, relying on the experienced goalkeeper Marcelo Carné and the counter-attacking threat of forward Luiz Otávio to cause an upset in Vila Belmiro.
