Game week two of the Sergipano season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Confiança - Sergipe preview:
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Copa do Nordeste match only two days ago. This match was also played here at Estádio Estadual Lourival Baptista. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Sergipe have had more rest.
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.
