Barra da Tijuca get ready to welcome Macaé for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa Rio Round of 16 leg 1 of 2.
These teams have little in common geographically as Macaé have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Barra da Tijuca and Macaé should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
