On Wednesday, May 13, at 9:30 PM Brasília time, Palmeiras will face Jacuipense at Estádio do Café in Londrina for the second leg of the fifth round of the 2026 Copa do Brasil. With a comfortable 3–0 lead from the first leg, head coach Abel Ferreira is expected to rotate the squad, potentially fielding a mixed lineup.
**Paulinho and Academy Prospects Could Feature**
With confirmed absences of Vitor Roque, Piquerez, Arthur, and Andreas Pereira, Abel Ferreira is likely to use the match to test young talents from the academy, such as Pacheco, Luighi, and Benedetti. Additionally, players with less playing time, like Paulinho and Felipe Anderson, may gain more match rhythm.
Taking into account that most starters may be rested, a probable lineup would be:
**Lomba; Khellven, Fuchs, Benedetti, Jefté; Pacheco, Evangelista, Maurício; Paulinho, Luighi, Felipe Anderson.**
