Santos will likely aim to control the midfield with Neymar and Willian Arão pulling the strings. Bahia’s home advantage could play a crucial role, but Santos have the firepower to hit on the counter. This one could go either way, but a draw seems the most likely outcome.Santos will likely aim to control the midfield with Neymar and Willian Arão pulling the strings.
