Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Avaí & Cascavel face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa do Brasil. All the pre-match information is available here!
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Catarinense 1 match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Concordia, was also a home game here at Estádio Aderbal Ramos da Silva. The away team is better rested.
Cascavel have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
