With the Alfredo Leahy stadium expected to be full, Penedense x CSA will face each other this Wednesday, 3rd, at 8pm, in the final of the Copa Alagoas. In the first clash, held on Sunday, at the Rei Pelé stadium, in Maceió, there was a 1-1 draw. In the game in Penedo, both teams need to win and, in the event of a new draw, the title decision will be on penalties.

The champion of the Copa Alagoas will compete for a place in the 2025 Copa do Brasil, facing CSE, 3rd place in the Alagoas Championship. Back in the first division, Penedense is having a great season. Led by Jaelson Marcelino, the black and white team guaranteed their stay in the elite and, in an unprecedented way, is already guaranteed in the 2025 D series.

Penedense
For this final commitment, coach Jaelson Marcelino will be without some starters. Injured, right-back Luciano Tchow and defensive midfielder Cesar remain handed over to the Alvirrubro Medical Department. Another absence is defender Ramos, who will be suspended for receiving his third yellow card. The one who remains available is striker Neto, who did not participate in the first game after being sent off against Coruripe.
A probable formation: Diogo; Lucas Guedes, Kawã, Léo and Pedrinho; Sorim (Alisson), Buga, Marcos Antônio and Darlisson; Bruno Tesouro and Neto.

CSA

Coach Cristian de Souza continues to be without goalkeeper Deivity, full-back Ricardo Sena and striker Alisson Farias, all of whom have been handed over to the Medical Department. The goalkeeper and striker deal with calf problems. The full-back, in turn, is recovering from a knee injury.
A change in the team is not ruled out. Marcinho could lose his place in the starting team and make way for Wellington Carvalho.

A likely team: Fernando Castro; Lucas Marques, Almir Luan, Eduardo Biazus, Wellington Carvalho and Erik; Marlon, Juninho Valoura and Gustavo Xuxa; Marquinhos and Tiago Marques.
