National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Corinthians or Botafogo SP that keep their silverware dream alive.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Corinthians form and stats
Last season their Paulista A1 adventure ended in the finals.10-7-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Corinthians so far this season.
The fans are hoping that Corinthians will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Florida Cup game against Atletico Nacional. Ahead of that match, Corinthians won a home game hosting New York City (2-1).
The manager T. Retzalff Nunes will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Mirassol in only three days.
