Cuiabá and Guarani are both riding high in the Serie B with their 3rd and 6th positions respectively. Expect a great game!

Insights:
  • Cuiabá has the most points (38) at home in Serie B

It's no vacation for neither Cuiabá nor Guarani as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

These teams have little in common geographically as Guarani have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Cuiabá are battling for top spots and have everything to play for. Guarani are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
