It's no vacation for neither Horizonte nor Iguatu as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

7-16-13 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Iguatu when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 36 matches are 51-58 (scored/conceded).

It's quite the trip for Iguatu when visiting Horizonte as the cities are 1900 kilometers apart.
