Leão do Pici debuts in the Copa do Brasil-2024 and tries to resume the best phase of the season after two consecutive draws in the State and in the Copa do Nordeste
Fortaleza will visit Fluminense-PI this Sunday (3/3) in the first phase of the Copa do Brasil. The ball rolls at 8.30pm (Brasilia time), at the Lindolfo Monteiro Stadium, in Teresina. In case of a draw, Leão do Pici will qualify for the next phase. The winner of the clash will face Retrô, from Pernambuco.
The match between Ceará and Piauí was scheduled for Thursday (29th), but was postponed due to the attack suffered by the Leão do Pici delegation.
Where to look
The match will be broadcast live throughout Brazil, SporTV will broadcast the duel on pay TV and the premiere on pay-per-view.
How the Fluminense-PI arrives
Fluminense-PI is third in Group B of the Piauí Championship with two wins, two draws and four defeats, for a total of eight points. The last time they entered the field, the team lost 5-1 on aggregate against Altos and said goodbye to the Piauí Championship. Therefore, an elimination in the Copa do Brasil will leave the Piauí club without a calendar for the rest of the year.
How to get to Fortaleza
Fortaleza tries to resume its best phase at the start of the season after two consecutive draws in the Campeonato Cearense and the Copa do Nordeste. Despite this, Leão do Pici is having an excellent season in the State Championship. They lead Group A with 11 points from five matches and are already guaranteed a place in the semi-finals. For the Copa do Nordeste, the team occupies second place in Group B.
The team enters the field for the first time, after an attack by an organized sports fan. The psychological aspect is therefore an issue to overcome for Fortaleza making their debut in the Copa do Brasil. The world of sport is also of concern. After all, Leão has only achieved one triumph in his last five matches.
