National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Cuiabá or Brasiliense that keep their silverware dream alive.
These are hustling days for the home side, as they played only three days ago in the Serie A. That game was an away game at Flamengo, so at least Cuiabá are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Brasiliense have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Cuiabá form and stats
Cuiabá was eliminated in the quarter-finals last season in the Copa Verde.4 victories, 5 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Cuiabá have to build on here at Arena Pantanal in the Serie A.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Cuiabá, as their goalkeeper Joao Carlos Heidemann has completely shut out the opponents for 278 minutes in the Serie A.
Cuiabá manager J. de Amorim Campos and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Flamengo in the Serie A. The goalie Walter was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.73 out of ten. Walter stopped the opponent with four saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
