It's advantage Ponte Preta so far with their 6th position in the Serie B table, welcoming Brasil de Pelotas who are placed 13th.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
These teams have little in common geographically as Brasil de Pelotas have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
