There have been little to rest for the hosting team, as they were involved in a Serie B match only four days earlier. That game was an away game at Operário PR, so at least Brusque are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1500 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
