In a weekend match in week 14, on Fri Jun 24th, Ponte Preta hosts Sampaio Corrêa in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Serie B teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 19 degrees, which is great football weather. In their last match, Ponte Preta recorded a 0-2 loss against Cruzeiro. Edu struck first for Cruzeiro in the 44th minute, then Matheus Bidu added another in the 48th minute on a feed from Geovane de Jesus Rocha At the end of 90 a dissapointed Ponte Preta couldn’t manage to score, and Cruzeiro took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10, while in their last match, Sampaio Corrêa recorded a 0-2 loss against Grêmio. Diego Souza struck first for Grêmio in the 36th minute, then Diego Souza added another in the 77th minute from the penalty spot In the end, Sampaio Corrêa was frustrated by Grêmio’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Grêmio ended the match with the shutout victory. Sampaio Corrêa is looking for direction having 3 win and 5 losses in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
Sampaio Corrêa’s top weapon lately has been Gabriel Poveda, who has three goals in the last 5 matches.
