The Sampaio Corrêa is a club that has managed to conquer the B Series of the Brazilian Championship once throughout its history, a title that it won in the distant year of 1972. In the Maranhense Championship this year, the team did not even manage to qualify for the elimination phase, since the regular phase finished in the fifth position. In Serie B of the Brazilian Championship of 2018, the team is trying to get close to the top finishers, currently with a score very close to the teams that are within the access zone, but also near the drop zone. In the last five games that Sampaio Corrêa played in his stadium, in four he scored at least one goal in the first half. We believe that in this game the standard will be maintained, since Sampaio Corrêa is better than his opponent and will have the conditions to open the score at the beginning of the game.

Atlético Goianiense is a club that was already the champion of the Brazilian Serie B Championship, in a very recent season, in 2016. With that, it achieved access to the elite of Brazilian football. But in 2017 he could not stand between the Serie A teams and was downgraded again. So, in this season of 2018 he is once again among the teams of the Serie B. In the Brazilian Championship of the Serie B of 2018, the team began oscillating between victories, draws and defeats, but managing to score regularly. However, in the last five rounds lost strength and is alternating between defeats and draws, reaching only three of the fifteen points played. An important observation is that the defensive sector of the team has consistently failed and will now face a team that usually makes goals in the first half when playing at home.
