This is Neymar's first match after he missed some training sessions due to discomfort that, moreover, led to his exclusion from coach Carlo Ancelotti's Brazilian National Team call-up.

The game marks the debut of coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda at the helm of the team. The Argentine coach, who had success at Fortaleza, arrives at Santos with the mission to save the club from a second relegation just in the season when it returned to Serie A.

The Peixe could enter the relegation zone of the Brasileirão this round. For this to happen, the team led by Vojvoda would have to lose to Fluminense and Vasco and Vitória would have to win their clashes against Sport and Atlético-MG, respectively.
