Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Botafogo & Brasiliense face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa do Brasil. All the pre-match information is available here!
Brasiliense have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Brasiliense. That game was also an away game, at Santa Maria. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
