Team conditions

The team from Laranjeiras debuted with a victory in the State Championship. Fluminense took the field with an alternative team, but with reinforcements and professional squad players who need more playing time.

Some players seized the opportunity. Midfielder Lezcano and forward John Kennedy performed well against Madureira. The lineup is likely to be repeated over the weekend.

The team will continue to be led by assistant Max Cuberas, as coach Luís Zubeldia is still recovering from a surgical procedure.

Boavista, on the other hand, did not start well in the State Championship. The team from the Lakes Region was defeated by Volta Redonda at Raulino de Oliveira.

Under the command of the experienced Gilson Kleina, the home team needs a positive result to avoid complications in the fight for a spot in the quarterfinals.
