It's the second chance for points this season as CSA and Sampaio Corrêa battle it out at Estádio Universitário da UFAL.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
These teams have little in common geographically as Sampaio Corrêa have to travel 1600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
CSA form and stats
Last season, CSA's league statistics were 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, resulting in a 2nd position in the Alagoano. Over these eight matches they scored 17 goals and conceded 5. Playing at home last season CSA managed 3-1-0 (win-draw-lost) with 11 goals and 0 conceded. The CSA fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Estádio Universitário da UFAL and will expect new points from this game. CSA has played ten games in a row here without a defeat.
No payout for CSA in their previous match, an away game at Nautico that ended in defeat 0-1. Vitor Costa, defender, was given a rating of 7.32/10 in that game, top of the team. Costa hit one key pass and won 7 of 10 duels.
1-1 away at CRB (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) before that.Sampaio Corrêa form and stats

In total they scored 12 and conceded 3 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 1 and lost 1 with 5/2 goals scored/conceded.
192 minutes! That's how long the Sampaio goalkeeper Willis Mota Moreira and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Sampaio Corrêa's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Goias that finished 0-0. Mota (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.85. Mota stopped the opponent with four saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
Before that one, a nice away victory 3-1 at Moto Club MA.Head 2 Head
