CSA form and stats

Disaster struck CSA last season as they could not defend their status as a Serie B team. With 14 defeats from 38 games, and only 9 wins, relegation could not be avoided. CSA are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W7 D8 L4.

There will be little rest for CSA after this match as they are travelling to Ypiranga Erechim for a Serie C game in only three days.

Confiança form and stats

The last season was not a pleasant experience for Confiança as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 9 victories from 38 games, relegation was a fact. Confiança's manager Eutrópio are hoping to lead the team right back to Serie B at the first attempt.

A quick return to home after this game, as Confiança are hosting Altos in the Serie C only four days away.

Head 2 Head

CSA have won or drawn the last 5 matches (2-3-0) against Confiança.

The Campeonato Brasileiro Série C is the third tier of the Brazilian football league system. It is divided into two groups of ten teams, based on geographical location. The teams in each group play each other home and away, and the top four in each group meet in a playoff where all four semifinalists are promoted to Série B. The bottom two teams in each group are relegated.
