National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Fortaleza or Sergipe that keep their silverware dream alive.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Sergipe could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Copa do Nordeste game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at CRB. 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.
