National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Vila Nova or Palmas that keep their silverware dream alive.
Vila have less rest than Palmas in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Serie C game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Remo, so at least Vila Nova are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
It's quite the trip for Palmas when visiting Vila as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.
