Avai's campaign is pretty bad and the relegation is almost certain, but as long as they have a chance to stay in the elite they will try it. It is necessary to show an evolution in the field, having regular performances and results, because only then will they have any chance of leaving the relegation zone. Even against an opponent that comes better in the championship it is a must to win and this makes them need to show more commitment within the four lines. Sure they will not find and slack in their current confrontation, but they know the great need to add three points because of their situation. In this match Matheus Lucas, Douglas, Jonny Mosquera, Bruno Savio, Lourenco, Daniel Amorim, Iury and Caio Paulista will be left out for being in the medical department, while João Paulo is doubtful.

Confirmed Lineup: Vladimir, Betão, Eduardo Kunde, Luanderson Silva, Ricardo Thalheimer, Pedro Castro, Caio Paulista, João Paulo, Vinicius Araujo, Jonathan.
Coach: C. dos Santos Oliveira.
