Insights:
  • Oeste has the most conceded goals (54) in Serie B

The hosts Oeste saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Serie B. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Cruzeiro.

Confiança have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Oeste are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Confiança are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
