Caxias lineup
Coach Luizinho Vieira will not have four players, all for physical reasons. Goalkeeper Thiago Coelho, midfielder Wendell and strikers Gustavo Nescau and Welder will be embezzled. The four are no longer available last Saturday, when Caxias lost to Inter 3-1, in Beira-Rio, in the semifinal of the Gaucho Championship, being eliminated from the competition.
In the first phase of the Brazilian Cup, the team eliminated Dourados-MT with a 2-0 win away from home. Midfielder Tomas Bastos, former Botafogo, scored both goals. He also scored the goal in the game against Inter.
To have a full house, the Caxias board made tickets promoted. A stands for the local fans leave for R $ 30,00 and a kilo of non-perishable food.
Probable Caxias lineup: Victor Golas; Thiago Ennes, Lucas Cunha, Alisson, Kelvyn; Pedro Coiabá, Vini Guedes, Mantuan, Tomas Bastos; Gabriel Lima and Richard. Technical: Luizinho Vieira.
Fluminense lineup
Coach Mano Menezes will not be able to count on defender Thiago Silva and socks Renato Augusto, Lima and Paulo Henrique Ganso. The first three are in injury recoveries. Already Ganso still needs to resume training with ball after diagnosis of myocarditis, an inflammation in the heart.
Tricolor comes from four straight wins in the year, the last two by goals: 8-0 at the Marabá-PA Eagle, away from home, in the first phase of the Brazilian Cup, and 4-0 against Volta Redonda, in Maracanã, in the first duel of the Carioca Championship semifinals.
With a place in the carioca final very close, it is likely that Mano Menezes will not spare players in the Brazilian Cup. Paraguayan midfielder Rubén Lezcano, hired from Libertad-PAR, can debut by Flu. However, the tendency is for him to start the duel in the bank.
Probable lineup of Fluminense: Fábio; Samuel Xavier, Ignacio, Freytes, Fuentes; OTAVIO, Martinelli, Arias; Serna, Canobbio and Pipe. Technical: Mano Menezes.
