It's still early in the Serie B season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Sampaio Corrêa - Ponte Preta preview!
The visiting Ponte Preta played their last game only four days ago, a Copa do Brasil match. That game was also an away game, at Afogados. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
It's quite the trip for Ponte Preta when visiting Sampaio Corrêa as the cities are 2800 kilometers apart.
Sampaio Corrêa form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Serie B game of the season here. Last season these fans witnessed 0 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses from Sampaio Corrêa's 0 home games. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Sampaio to get some points in this home game. The Sampaio manager L. Condé might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Sampaio faced defeat in their previous match, away at Chapecoense (0-1). Preceding that match was a defeat to Juventude (0-1).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Sampaio as they are travelling to their away game against CRB in the Serie B. That match is four days after this one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Sampaio Corrêa at home in the league. 0 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
