The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Nova Cidade are in the 6th position while the guests worry at 7th.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Carioca 2 game only three days ago. That match was played in the comfort of their own home stadium, hosting Sampaio Corrêa RJ. There's been little rest and some travel, but Serrano RJ will do their best.
Nova Cidade form and stats
Nova Cidade have collected 4 points from their Carioca 2 home games so far after 1-1-2. The Nova Cidade manager might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
