Sampaio Korea (7th Place L.13-I.10-H.11 Term.41-37)
Maybe with the clean draw in the CSA they maintained an unbeaten streak of six (6) games, but this did not satisfy them as they did not get as close as they wanted to the top 4. With four (4) matches remaining and six (6) points separating them from the top 4, one can say that they can hardly win anything. Yes, but four(4) of the five(5) teams competing for promotion are playing each other now and it is an opportunity to take advantage of its very strong base (3η best performance with 12-4-1) and minimize the distance. He will be absent as the suspended Hipólito L. (A.25comp) and André Luiz (M.31comp/3g) and the injured Pará (A.17comp) will be missing.
Chapecoense (Position 15th N.9-I.12-H.13 Term.32-34)
In one (1) match that he absolutely wanted, he failed to get it and moved away from the last places. They were tied 1-1 with the deformed Operario and will have to be very careful in the last four(4) matches if they don't want to go lower. Everything happened within three (3) minutes where in the 41st minute they took the lead and in the 44th minute they equalized and somewhere there the image of the game was locked. Tsaopeko may have the 3rd best performance away from home, but in the last period they do not have a win, as they have won since 17.07.22, which is about three (3) months. A team that relies heavily on defense, will be looking to steal a result tonight. Frazan (A.12comp/1g) and Pablo (M.12comp) are the only absentees.
Sampaio know that if they don't get this game, they will effectively end any hopes of promotion. Chapeko will close venues and whatever they get will be positive. In football when a team goes for two(2) results, they usually get nothing. I believe in a fairly close game with few goals, the home team will prevail even if marginally. I take the combination 1&Under3.5 goals.
