Palmeiras x Bragantino: see where to look, lineups, absences and referees | Brazil Cup

After winning the first match, in Bragança Paulista, 3 to 1, Palmeiras have the advantage of being able to lose by up to one goal difference to qualify. Bragantino only advances directly in case of victory by three or more goals difference. A victory by Massa Bruta by two goals difference leads to the decision on penalties.

Verdão will have an important new feature in the reserve bank. Presented last Wednesday, the Portuguese Abel Ferreira will debut as head of the team. But he already warned that, with little time to train, the team that had been playing with Andrey Lopes should not change much.

Bragantino, despite the disadvantage on the scoreboard, adopts the confidence speech for the game. Coach Maurício Barbieri acknowledged the difficulty of the match, but pointed out that the dispute is open, especially with Jan Hurtado’s goal that narrowed the difference in the first leg.

In the Massa Bruta squad there is an athlete who knows coach Abel Ferreira. Midfielder Ricardo Ryller was already trained by the captain in 2018, in Braga, Portugal.

Palmeiras – coach: Abel Ferreira

The debut of coach Abel Ferreira will be a decisive match: the confrontation between Palmeiras and Bragantino is worth a hole in the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Cup. With little time to train, the Portuguese showed knowledge about the characteristics of the players and the squad in his first days working at the Soccer Academy. The tendency is for the team to maintain the standard that Andrey Lopes had set.

Who is out: Luan Silva (knee surgery) and Lucas Esteves (transition).

Bragantino – coach: Mauricio Barbieri

Coach Maurício Barbieri intends to make changes to Bragantino’s starting line-up after defeats in the last two games (Palmeiras, for the Copa do Brasil, and Grêmio, for Brasileirão).

Who is out: forward Alerrandro (calf pain), left back Weverson (groin discomfort), midfielder Vitinho (ankle injury), forward Wesley (thigh pain), midfielder Matheus Jesus (thigh pain), defender Leo Realpe (back thigh), forward Leandrinho (back thigh), forward Bruno Tubarão (Covid-19) and midfielder Raúl (he played for Vasco in this edition of the Copa do Brasil).
