An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 19th and the visitors in 14th place.

The home team returns to Estádio Rei Pelé after sharing the points with Vasco da Gama on their last time out; the Serie A game ended 0-0. In the match before that, CSA hosted Grêmio and drew the game 0-0.
