They will face each other starting at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) this Wednesday (22).
First leg of the Copa do Brasil fifth round at Serra Dourada.
SporTV, GE TV and Premiere will broadcast it.
Davi de Oliveira Lacerda (ES) will referee the match.
The return leg will be on May 12. And Mineirão will be the venue.
Esmeraldino reached the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil by eliminating Gama, Fluminense-PI and Maringá in sequence.
And they are not in a good moment after losses to Juventude and Cuiabá without scoring in Série B.
Daniel Paulista once again has right-back Rodrigo Soares available, after he served a suspension.
Recovered from injury, Lucas Rodrigues played against Cuiabá and is now an option to start among the 11.
The lineup has not been announced yet.
Raposa come into the match boosted by moving out of the Brasileirão relegation zone.
The expectation was that Arthur Jorge would rest some starters.
And that happened. Fagner was not even included in the squad, and Gerson starts on the bench.
Kaio Jorge was at one point a doubt, but he starts.
Otávio is the big new addition among the starting 11.
