Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Novo Hamburgo & Aimoré face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa Gaúcha. All the pre-match information is available here!
There have been limited time to rest for the hosts, as they featured in a Copa Gaúcha match only four days earlier. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Cruzeiro RS.
Novo Hamburgo form and stats
On the other hand, in the Copa Gaúcha, Novo Hamburgo has performed like this (both home and away): 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Novo Hamburgo has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager M. Fortes Nunes and the players.
Novo Hamburgo enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Cruzeiro RS's place. The match ended 6-0. As mentioned above, Hamburgo "killed" Cruzeiro RS in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Previous to that game, a Copa Gaúcha home match hosting Garibaldi in a game that was won 3-0.Aimoré form and stats
There's been little loot from Aimoré's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 7 away games in the Serie D. Aimoré only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw.

The manager R. dos Santos Lacerda was unhappy after their last game, a Copa Gaúcha match played at their home ground Estádio João Corrêa da Silveira. Aimoré suffered a 1-2 loss to Sapucaiense (placed 5th).
Prior to that result Aimoré won their away game at Uniao Harmonia in the Copa Gaúcha. The scoreline was 3-0.Many goals are not expected from the visiting Aimoré as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. As for defending, Aimoré rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 12 goals from these away matches.
