Serie B: The mid-table placements shows the journey CRB and Ponte Preta have undertaken so far. Both participants are up for it; let's get this boat on the water!
- Ponte Preta have the fewest scored goals in the second half (5) in Serie B
Ponte Preta have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
It's no vacation for neither CRB nor Ponte Preta as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
