Jacuipense and Palmeiras will face off on Wednesday, May 13, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Estádio do Café in Londrina for the second leg of the Copa do Brasil fifth round. The match will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video (streaming).
Palmeiras won the first leg 3-0 at Allianz Parque, with Ramón Sosa scoring twice and Felipe Anderson adding another. With that result, Abel Ferreira’s side can afford to lose by up to two goals and still advance to the Round of 16. The coach is expected to rotate the squad, giving playing time to some reserve players.
Confirmed absentees for Palmeiras include Vitor Roque, Andreas Pereira, Piquerez, Bruno Fuchs, and Arthur. Midfielder Allan trained on Tuesday with a reduced load due to a calf muscle injury and remains a doubt. The probable lineup features Carlos Miguel in goal, with Khellven, Murilo (or Gustavo Gómez), Benedetti, and Jefté in defense, Emiliano Martínez, Lucas Evangelista, Mauricio, and Felipe Anderson in midfield, and Ramón Sosa alongside Luighi (or Flaco López) up front.
Jacuipense, led by coach Rodrigo Ribeiro, are expected to field Marcelo in goal; Weverton, Jhones, and Raylon in defense; David, Thiago, Vinícius Amaral, and Vicente in midfield; and Thiaguinho Oliveira, Pedro Henrique, and Thiaguinho in attack. The referee is Jonathan Benkenstein Pinheiro (RS), assisted by Jorge Eduardo Bernardi (RS) and Mauricio Coelho Silva Penna (RS), with VAR operated by Heber Roberto Lopes (SC).
