The week off? Yeah, it could be a hindrance for sure, although it could also be beneficial. Hindrance - because they've been off for so long it could take a while to get back into the swing of things. Benefits - they're well rested, have had time to practice and also mentally prepare for the next round.
It's the first time these two teams have met in the second round since 1992.
