National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's América RN U20 or Avaí U20 that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for América RN U20 and Avaí U20.
América RN U20 form and stats
Last season, América RN U20's Sao Paolo Youth Cup journey ended in the group stage.The club members hope that América will fight back in this fixture, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the Sao Paolo Youth Cup fixture against Catanduva U20.
Before that match, a loss in the away fixture against Alecrim U20 in the Potiguar U20.
There will be little rest for América RN U20 after this match as they are travelling to Ceilândia U20 for a Sao Paolo Youth Cup game in only three days.
Avaí U20 form and stats
Avaí U20 was sent out of Sao Paolo Youth Cup in the 2nd round last season.This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, a Sao Paolo Youth Cup home defeat versus Ceilândia U20 with 1-3 on the scoreboard.
One match before, 1-1 at home against Figueirense U20 in the Catarinense U20.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Avaí U20 manager as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Catanduva U20.
