The Carioca U20 league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 5th and 6th respectively.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
