National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's ABC or Fluminense PI that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Piauiense. That game was also an away game, at Altos. 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.
