Insights:
  • Ceará have not yet lost a game.
  • Sampaio Corrêa have not yet lost a game away.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Maranhense. That game, against Moto Club MA, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Sampaio Corrêa.

It's quite the trip for Sampaio Corrêa when visiting Ceará as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.
