It's the first game of the new season for Sampaio Corrêa and Moto Club MA. The canvas is blank, the possibilities endless.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Sampaio Corrêa form and stats

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Sampaio have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost two.

The manager L. Condé will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Moto Club MA in only three days.

Disaster struck Sampaio Corrêa last season as they could not defend their status as a Serie B team. With 5 defeats from eight games, and only 2 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Sampaio are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W1 D0 L3.

There are 26 state football leagues in Brazil. Because of long distances in Brazil a very competitive football culture developed within each state. Therefore, Brazil remain one of the few countries who still run state championships alongside the national ones. Most of them run from January to May, outside the national season.
