Copa do Brasil
Atlético-GO vs Fluminense
19:00 ET
Atlético-GO and Fluminense face each other for the third time in three weeks - they also played in the beginning of September for the Brazilian Championship, when they drew 1-1 at Maracanã - and decide on Thursday who qualifies for the round of 16 of the Cup of Brazil. The return game of the fourth phase will be at the Olympic Stadium, in Goiânia, at 8 pm (Brasília time).
Tricolor Carioca, who won 1-0 at Maracanã, may even draw to advance in the competition. The Dragon needs to win by two advantage or return a score with the minimum difference in goals to take the decision to penalties.
At Atlético-GO, coach Vagner Mancini is confident after the last performances. Last Saturday, in Serie A, Dragão lost 4-3 to Atlético-MG. Players and coaching staff believe that the team can reverse the Tricolor advantage.
Although the stage is not good in offensive terms, Fluminense traveled to Goiânia confident in seeking classification and ending a five-year fast without eliminating Serie A teams in the Copa do Brasil. For this, the board spared no effort and chartered flights on the return from Recife, where Tricolor lost Sport on Sunday, and on the trip to Goiânia, to gain more rest and training time.
