Santos vs Atletico Paranaense
📖 The Preview
Santos are fighting for their lives here, sitting just a point above the drop zone, and that desperation at home should be the difference. Atletico Paranaense come in chasing top two and have their own motivation, but Santos's recent form has been solid and Vila Belmiro should be rocking with the stakes this high. Paranaense will nick one back, they're too good not to, but Santos edge it 2-1 with Neymar suspended through yellows adding extra pressure on the rest to step up.
