On the other hand, LeĂŁo Caipira finds itself struggling in 18th place with just nine points and a game in hand.
This match is crucial for coach Roger Machado, who has faced criticism and discontent from the tricolor supporters.
The situation has been exacerbated by a disappointing sequence of two losses in the national championship against VitĂłria and Vasco.
Even recent victories over O’Higgins and Juventude in the Copa Sudamericana and Copa do Brasil, respectively, have not eased the tension among fans at MorumBIS.
For this match, coach Roger Machado has made tactical changes, bringing in Sabino and Bobadilla to replace Alan Franco and Luan, following the 1-0 victory over Juventude in the first leg of the fifth round of the national tournament.
