Moving nearer to the top clubs is at stake when these mid-table clubs fight it out. Both will be trying to better their league table position, Náutico in 8th and Sampaio Corrêa in 10th place.
- Náutico have the most points from losing position (15) in Serie B
- Sampaio Corrêa have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Serie B.
These teams have little in common geographically as Sampaio Corrêa have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
