Confiança and Sampaio Corrêa have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie B.

Insights:
  • Confiança have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Sampaio Corrêa is in the worst form (1-0-5)

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Confiança and Sampaio Corrêa.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1500 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Relegation threatens Confiança who should definitely be looking for some points here. Sampaio are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Confiança form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie B, Confiança have managed 7 wins, 5 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 17 games.

Happy days for Confiança in their previous game, a Serie B match away at Oeste (placed 20th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that game, the home loss against Operario PR with the scoreline 1-2.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Confiança, as the Serie B home game vs America Mineiro is only four days away.

The Confiança fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 17 matches. Confiança have conceded 20 in these home matches.

Sampaio Corrêa form and stats

5 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses. That’s the product of Sampaio Corrêa, who have the most scored goals (23) away in Serie B, playing as the away team in the Serie B this season. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Sampaio Corrêa's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Marcinho and Jackson scored in Sampaio's previous match, the home game against Parana that ended 2-1. Prior to that match, the Sampaio manager L. Condé faced defeat when travelling to Botafogo SP and losing 1-2.

Sampaio has another fixture away, a Serie B game, against Cuiaba in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Sampaio are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 23 away goals from 17 games (in the league). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Sampaio Corrêa have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Sampaio Corrêa - Confiança 1-3 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - four - four (Confiança wins - draws - Sampaio Corrêa wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
