The other confrontation on Wednesday, at 5:30 p.m., will be between Caxias RS and ABC-RN, a first in the history of the two clubs. The Rio Grande do Sul team, who dreams of returning to the third division, plays at home on Sunday (10) in full force. Coach Raphael Jack will return at his disposal striker Kelvin to the squad after his suspension and goalkeeper Eder, who has already recovered from Covid-19.

“ABC has the best attack in the competition, second best campaign overall. It’s a team that presses a lot and plays offensively. It’s going to be very difficult. The shirt and the traditional team. We respect them very much, but we know our conditions and our qualities, and within what we’ve analyzed,” Jack said at a press conference. We will try to take this quality from them, in the best possible way.
