Equilíbrio marca o confronto entre os dois times

A partida desta quarta-feira contra o Time A é muito importante para o Time B seguir firme com vantagem na tabela e dar mais um importante passo rumo ao título do Campeonato Brasileiro de XXXX.

No que depender do retrospecto entre os clubes no campeonato nacional, a partida promete ser ainda mais difícil. Em 32 partidas, foram 11 vitórias para cada lado e 10 empates.
