On Athletico's side, coach Odair Hellmann wants to see the team repeat the performance shown against Coritiba. Since the CBF granted the request to release center back Arthur Dias from the Brazil under-20 squad, the coach may keep the core of the team that won the derby.

For this match, Glorioso, which will be led on an interim basis by Rodrigo Bellão, will be without center back Nahuel Ferraresi, called up by the Venezuela national team, defensive midfielder Danilo, with the Brazil national team, and forward Kadir, with the Panama national team. The coach is expected to keep the core of the side that has been playing in recent matches.

Probable lineup: Raul; Vitinho, Alexander Barboza, Bastos and Alex Telles; Cristian Medina, Edenílson, Álvaro Montoro and Santiago Rodríguez; Júnior Santos and Matheus Martins. Coach: Rodrigo Bellão
