Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Vitória in 10th and Avaí in 9th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Avaí have to travel 2600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
