Sampaio Corrêa form and stats

Sampaio Corrêa have collected 25 points from their Serie B home games so far after 7-4-3.

Sampaio's previous game was a Serie B match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Vasco da Gama (placed 8th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Luis Gustavo was on the receiving end of a red card in the Sampaio-Vasco da Gama match, being sent off in the 44th minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 1-0 victory. Luiz Daniel, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.32 out of 10 in that game. Daniel saved a penalty, stopped the opponent with five saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Londrina (1-3).

This is expected to be a close game, with Sampaio perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sampaio Corrêa as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Sampaio Corrêa has won seven of these, drawn two and lost two.

Sampaio has scored 19 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. From these home matches, Sampaio have conceded only 12 goals.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Vitória so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 1-7-6 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Vitória are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Vitória aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 618 league minutes without a goal. Marcinho was the last player to find the net.

Vitória failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie B home match vs Confianca (placed 19th) that ended with defeat 0-1. Midfield player Eduardo was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.85/10. Eduardo dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 39 successful passes (of 44 total).
