SCORE0:0
Santos host Palmeiras in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-final needing a four-goal win, but are without Gabriel Menino and Vinícius Lira, with Gustavo Henrique and Pepê Fermino doubtful. Palmeiras, leading 3-0, miss Jhon Arias, Paulinho, Ramón Sosa and Jefté. Neymar returns for Santos.
What it means
- Santos must win by 4 goals to advance directly; a 3-goal win forces penalties.
- Santos: Gabriel Menino and Vinícius Lira out injured; Gustavo Henrique and Pepê Fermino doubtful.
- Palmeiras: Jhon Arias, Paulinho, Ramón Sosa and Jefté all out injured.
- Neymar is back available for Santos after missing the first leg.
Model read
Santos' attacking task is slightly eased by Neymar's return, but their injury list and Palmeiras' comfortable lead still make a comeback unlikely; Palmeiras' absences are notable but their 3-0 cushion protects them.
