Serie B match preview: Brasil de Pelotas versus Confiança

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, Brasil de Pelotas in 11th and Confiança in 12th place.

Insights:
  • Confiança have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Best bookmaker betting odds:

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

These teams have little in common geographically as Confiança have to travel 3500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
