Botafogo get ready to welcome Cuiabá for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa do Brasil 8th Finals leg 1 of 2.
Cuiabá could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Serie B game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Sampaio Correa, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Cuiabá.
It's quite the trip for Cuiabá when visiting Botafogo as the cities are 1900 kilometers apart.
