Confiança and Paraná are ready to show off their new players and skills: It's their first game of the Serie B season.

The hosts Confiança saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Sergipano. That game was an away game at Frei Paulistano, so at least Confiança are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

These teams have little in common geographically as Paraná have to travel 2500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

The team scored 3 goals at home last season and conceded 2. It will be interesting to see how they perform at this level.
