Grêmio is set to take on Confiança this Thursday (14) in a decisive Copa do Brasil clash. The match kicks off at 7 PM local time at Estádio Batistão in Aracaju, with the Tricolor holding a solid advantage from the first leg.
At Arena, Luís Castro’s side secured a 2-0 victory, meaning they can afford to lose by a single goal and still advance to the next round.
Luís Castro opts for a rotated lineup
The coaching staff decided to rest several key starters given the demanding schedule ahead. This opened the door for younger players and those with limited minutes to step into the starting eleven.
Notable inclusions are Gabriel Mec, along with Viery, Perez, and Noriega. Up front, Amuzu and Carlos Vinícius lead the attack for Grêmio.
