Serie B: Top-drawer against second-rate, at least according to the table. Vitória - ABC. Home victory or a shock?
- Vitória have the most scored goals in the second half (19) in Serie B
- ABC have the most dropped points from leading position (16) in Serie B
These teams have little in common geographically as ABC have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
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 Vitória and ABC.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the ABC manager Aal as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Ceara.
