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

There have been limited time to rest for the hosting team, as they had a Pernambucano 1 match only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Retro, was also a home game here at Estádio Eládio de Barros Carvalho. The away team is better rested.
