Fortaleza welcomes Atlético Mineiro to this second leg of the Copa do Brasil Semi-finals. It's time to find a winner and both teams know what is needed.

It's no vacation for neither Fortaleza nor Atlético Mineiro 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.

These teams have little in common geographically as Atlético Mineiro have to travel 2300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
