This could be an interesting match as Ponte Preta have their presumed home advantage while Cuiabá are ahead 7 points in the Serie B table.
- Ponte Preta has the most points from losing position (19) in Serie B
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
These teams have little in common geographically as Cuiabá have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Cuiabá are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
