It’s a decisive night in the Copa do Brasil for Juventude and São Paulo.

It is the second leg of the competition’s fifth round, with Alfredo Jaconi as the venue.

Papo drew their last two Série B matches. They are currently ninth in the table with 12 points.
Maurício Barbieri will once again be without Jandrei and Iba Ly, who belong to São Paulo. The same applies to Patryck Lanza, who is still injured.
The starting full-backs are also unavailable. Raí Ramos is in the medical department and Diogo Barbosa is suspended.
Pressure from a large part of the fans on Roger Machado’s work and the board remains intense.
The mission is to secure qualification to ease the pressure from the poor run in the Brasileirão — just one win in the last five rounds.
And Roger heads into another match fielding the best team he has available.
There was an expectation that Cauly would be among the starting 11. And that was confirmed.
Alan Franco and Rafael Tolói remain out.
The same goes for Lucas Ramon.
The final starts at 7 p.m. Brasília time.
The final will be held at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium.
