With their 12 point advantage in the league table, Confiança fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Oeste.
Confiança and Oeste should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as Oeste have to travel 2100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Confiança form and stats
When playing at home in the Serie B, Confiança have managed 3 wins, 4 draws and suffered 0 defeats from 7 games. In general it's been a long time since Confiança tasted defeat here at Estádio Estadual Lourival Baptista, as they have taken at least one point from their last eleven home games in the league.
Confiança shared the glory with Operário PR in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Previous to that game, a home match hosting CRB in a game that was won 1-0.
A painful moment in the game against Operário PR was the missed penalty kick from Reis in the 74th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Confiança matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, one draw and two defeats (from four games).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Confiança as they are travelling to their away game against Sampaio Correa in the Serie B. That match is four days after this one.
Confiança are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games. From these home matches, Confiança have conceded only 6 goals.
Oeste form and stats
There's been little loot from Oeste's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 7 away games in the Serie B. Oeste, who have the most conceded goals (26) in Serie B, only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on T. Carpini Barbosa, the Oeste manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Oeste are looking to quickly end their 239 minutes long goal drought in the Serie B.
Oeste's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Cruzeiro that finished 0-0. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Operário PR.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Oeste when being an outsider away as they are today, we find five matches with the visitors losing four times, drawing one and winning zero games.
A new game in only three days for Oeste, the Serie B home match versus Nautico. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Oeste as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league. Oeste have conceded 15 goals in these games.
