Struggling Fontinhas will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Sertanense in the upcoming league round. It’s 18th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the 2. Division: Group C. That game was also an away game, at Ideal. 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.
