There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Serie B table so far. Here's the Sampaio Corrêa - Confiança latest:
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sampaio and Confiança.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1500 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Sampaio Corrêa form and stats
4 victories, 0 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Sampaio Corrêa have to build on here in the Serie B. Sampaio has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Operário PR defeat 39 days ago. It’s been three wins in a row for Sampaio Corrêa here, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.
Sampaio are confident in defense, having played 320 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Sampaio manager L. Condé and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Paraná (placed 6th) in the Serie B. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Figueirense in a game that was won 3-0.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Cuiabá are coming to town in three days.
Sampaio are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. From these home matches, Sampaio have conceded only 4 goals.
Confiança form and stats
There's been little loot from Confiança's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the Serie B. Confiança only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws.
Renan Gorne (3) scored in Confiança's previous match, the home game against Oeste that ended 3-1. Before that, Confiança travelled to Operário PR and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
Renan Gorne certainly enjoyed Confiança's last game versus Oeste, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 3-1 victory.
The schedule is very tough for Confiança now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie B game at America Mineiro is waiting in only three days.
