Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Ceará & Sampaio Corrêa face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa do Nordeste. All the pre-match information is available here!

Sampaio Corrêa have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

These are hustling days for the hosts, as they had a match only three days ago in the Copa do Nordeste. This match was also played here at Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Sampaio Corrêa have had more rest.

Sampaio Corrêa form and stats

Sampaio Corrêa was sent out of Copa do Nordeste in the quarter-finals last season.

There's been little loot from Sampaio Corrêa's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 19 away games in the Serie B. Sampaio Corrêa only have 3 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 6 draws.

Home advantage was not enough for Sampaio in their previous game as they lost hosting Náutico, 0-1.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sampaio Corrêa manager Brigatti as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Sousa.

The attacking power of Sampaio when travelling is not overwhelming with 16 goals scored from 19 league matches away. Sampaio Corrêa have conceded 26 goals in these away matches.
