Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Afogados & Atlético Mineiro face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa do Brasil. All the pre-match information is available here!
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.
Atlético Mineiro have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
