Glorioso will face the two matches of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, the last three rounds of the group stage of the Sudamericana and also the direct clashes in Brasileirão. The rankings in the tournaments give more confidence and allow millionaire income for the coffers of alvinegro. Eliminations, on the other hand, break with fans’ expectations for the season.
