O Santos terá um desfalque de peso na abertura da 34ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. Neymar, suspenso, está fora do duelo com o Red Bull Bragantino marcado para esta segunda-feira, 2 de novembro, às 20h, em Bragança Paulista, no Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques.
O craque levou vermelho no duelo com o Bahia e terá de cumprir duas partidas de gancho, o que obriga a comissão técnica a montar o ataque sem o principal nome do elenco.
O Peixe vem de uma sequência que o recolocou na briga pela parte de cima da tabela. A equipe empatou sem gols com o Palmeiras, atual vice-líder, e ficou no 1 x 1 com o Bahia; antes disso, venceu o Fluminense fora de casa. O objetivo é garantir vaga na Copa Libertadores de 2027.
Hoje o Alvinegro Praiano é o oitavo colocado, com 47 pontos: 12 vitórias, 11 empates e oito derrotas.
Já o Massa Bruta é o nono colocado, com 44 pontos. O Bragantino soma 12 vitórias, oito empates e 13 derrotas. Na rodada passada venceu a Chapecoense por 3 x 0, mas vinha de derrota por 2 x 0 para o Palmeiras e de empate com o Remo.
No duelo do primeiro turno, o Santos fez 2 x 0 no Bragantino, na Vila Belmiro, pela 15ª rodada, com gols de Neymar e Adonis Frías.
Prováveis escalações:
Red Bull Bragantino: Tiago Volpi; Ryan Augusto, Alix Vinicius, Guzmán Rodríguez, Juninho Capixaba; Fabinho, Eric Ramires; Lucas Barbosa, Wallace Yan, Fernando; Eduardo Sasha.
Santos: Diógenes; Rodinei, João Alencar, Luan Peres, Álvaro Barreal; Gustavinho, Christian Oliva; Gabriel Bontempo, Philippe Coutinho, Éverton Cebolinha; Gabigol.
No último duelo entre os dois clubes, vitória santista por 2 x 0, na Vila Belmiro, nas quartas de final do Campeonato Paulista de 2025.
