Serie B reaches 15th round

Three games open the 15th round of the Brazilian Serie B on Friday.

Sixth place Gama tries to return to the top four when it hosts Portuguesa in Brasilia. The team lost its two last matches, on the road, and hopes to recover now that it's returning home. Portuguesa will also try to surprise Gama here, since a win will also temporarily put the team from Sao Paulo into the top four. Both teams currently have 21 points.

Ponte Preta and Ipatinga, slightly below on the standings, will battle in Campinas to gain ground on the leaders. Ponte has 18 points, against Ipatinga's 19. The locals failed to get a point in two straight road games, while Ipatinga had a win and a draw in two matches at home.

Finally, leaders Criciuma go to Santo Andre to face Santo Andre, hoping to get at least a point to keep a safe margin ahead of second place Coritiba. The locals, on the other hand, try to continue its recovery to remain out of the relegation zone - currently the team has 15 points, just one more than 17th place Remo.

Remo will host fourth place Marilia on Saturday, hoping to win to breathe a little easier. Another team in the relegation zone, Santa Cruz, will have a tougher time when it travels to Santa Catarina to face Avai, currently in 14th. Santa Cruz, relegated last year from the Serie A, continues to struggle, having tied its last two games, at home. Paulista, in second last, also has a long way to travel, all the way to Fortaleza to play 15th place Ceara. And dead last Ituano hosts third place Brasiliense, which is coming off a great 6-0 win over Vitoria at home.

Vitoria's schedule doesn't get that much easier, as the team travels back home but has to face second place Coritiba, unbeaten in three games. A win can still put the team back in the top four, so not all hope is lost yet, despite the lopsided loss on Tuesday.

Gremio Barueri, with the same 21 points as Vitoria, hosts Fortaleza, with 20 points. Sao Caetano also has 20 points, and will travel to Maceio to face CRB, with 18 points. The locals return home after two road draws, while Sao Caetano had a win and a loss in a two-game homestand.
