Sampaio Corrêa and CSA have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Copa do Nordeste.
- Sampaio Corrêa have the fewest clean sheets (1) in Copa do Nordeste
- CSA have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sampaio and CSA.
These teams have little in common geographically as CSA have to travel 1600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Sampaio Corrêa form and stats
Sampaio Corrêa, who have the fewest clean sheets (1) in Copa do Nordeste, have collected 4 points from their Copa do Nordeste home games so far after 1-1-1. Sampaio has recorded two wins in a row here at Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
A nice win for Sampaio last time playing, versus Pinheiro. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0. A 1-1 draw away in the Copa do Nordeste before that, with ABC the opponent.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Sampaio have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won six, drawn zero and lost four.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Sampaio Corrêa as they are travelling to their away game against Moto Club MA in the Maranhense. That match is four days after this one.
Sampaio are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.
CSA form and stats
Things could have gone better for CSA in their Copa do Nordeste away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
CSA go into this game after a win, the home game against Coruripe that ended 5-0. A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting 4 de Julho in the Copa do Nordeste.
As you can tell from the results above, CSA was very dominant against Coruripe, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Norberto Neto, Bruno Mota (5) and Rodrigo Pimpão (2) providing the goals. It's hard not to mention Bruno Mota's lethal finishing against Coruripe. five goals were a big reason for the important victory.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with CSA playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were two CSA wins, two draws and four defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as CSA are hosting Remo in the Copa do Brasil only three days away.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far CSA have scored 4 goals in 3 league games away. As for defending, CSA rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 5 goals from these away matches.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Sampaio one win, four draws and CSA five victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.Sampaio Corrêa missing players
