This is the Piauiense season opener for these teams, who are finally competing for points again. Will Piauí or Ríver get that important first win?
Ríver could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Serie D game only four sleeps ago.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
