1st position in the Serie B table for Cuiabá so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 10th-placed Náutico visits Arena Pantanal.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
These teams have little in common geographically as Náutico have to travel 3100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
