Palmeiras at Copa do Brasil

This thurday at 7:30 pm Palmeiras is playing agains Atletico-Go for Copa do Brasil at Palmeiras home stadium Palestra Italia. The stadium will be full reaching at least 20,000 people. This is the quarter final of the tournament and Palmeiras will give everythinh they have to be able to participate at Copa Libertadores next year. Marcos Assunção who is Palmeiras new defensive midfielder will be playing his first match for the club on Thursday. He says that he will help the club as much as possible. The club expects that the their fans come to the game in a big number. They said that they want to see at least 20,000 people in the match. If Palmeiras loosses this game with a score difference of two goals then Palmeiras is out of the tournamnet. But if Palmeiras wins the match which is what is expecyed by the fans the club will travel to Goias to play against Atletico at their home stadium. Many good teams are alive in the tournament and none of these teams will be giving the cup to Palmeiras. If Palmeiras really wants to win the tournament the team should give their best with obviously the support of the fans. Sometimes Palmeiras fans play against the team when the team does not show a good performance but I do not think that will be the case on Thursday.
