Santos will visit Delfín (EQU) on Thursday night, at 11:00 p.m. (Brasilia time), at the Jocay Stadium, in Manta (EQU), for the fourth day of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores de América .
Fish needs to win so as not to get complicated in the group
Santos leads Group G of the competition with seven points, but Defensa y Justicia (ARG) slowed down when it reached six after the victory over Olimpia (PAR), who has five. A victory would put Peixe in a good position, with a four-point lead over the runner-up. A defeat, on the other hand, would leave the difference between the leader and the lantern, Delfín himself, by just three points.
The sequence is the best of the year
El Pez has not been defeated from the field in six games, representing the best sequence of the season. However, there were only two wins and four draws, and the team is coming from two zero to zero in a row.
To the delight of the fans, Pituca continues as the first midfielder
Santos’ main criticism of Cuca’s work in the early months is his insistence on Alison. The number 5 jersey has been in the sights of Santos since the days of Jesualdo Ferreira, who asked him to leave the team so that Pituca could retire for the role. The midfielder was preserved from the last game and today he is out, so Pituca remains ahead of the defense.

Coach strategy
Cuca has her great doubt in the midfield. Without being able to count on Alison, he will have to retire Pituca as the first midfielder and open a vacancy in the creative sector. Jean Mota and Arthur Gomes have already played there with the coach, but Menino da Vila takes advantage of recent good performances. In attack, Raniel’s poor performance gives Kaio Jorge a chance to start.
