Part 2/8:
The consensus among commentators is that Santos' chances of triumphing over Corinthians heavily rest on Neymar's performance. His previous outings have been scrutinized, particularly a promising display against Botafogo which, despite some errors, showcased his potential returning form. However, his lackluster performance against Novo Horizontino raised doubts about his current fitness and consistency. For Santos to secure a win at the Neo Química Arena, they would need Neymar at his prime, exhibiting the same relentless energy seen in their encounter with São Paulo.
