Portuguesa RJ get ready to welcome Corinthians for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa do Brasil 3rd Round leg 1 of 2.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Portuguesa RJ and Corinthians.

In the match before that, Portuguesa hosted Resende and drew the Carioca 1 game 2-2.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Portuguesa RJ, as the Serie D home game vs Oeste is only four days away.

Corinthians had fun at their own home (Estádio Municipal Jacy Scaff) last time out, beating Avai 3-0. Guedes (3) scored. Guedes certainly enjoyed Corinthians's last game versus Avai, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 3-0 victory.
