Volta Redonda get ready to welcome Bahia for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa do Brasil 3rd Round leg 1 of 2.
These teams have little in common geographically as Bahia have to travel 1600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
