Renato scored one goal.
A 1-1 draw away before that, with Sampaio Correa the opponent.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie B game versus Novorizontino in only three days. This game is also played here at Estádio Rei Pelé.
