Vitoria tries to reach the top 4 in the Serie B
Two games open the 19th round of the Brazilian Serie B soccer league on Tuesday. Vitoria hosts Gama needing a win to temporarily join the top four in the promotion zone, while Paulista travels to Ipatinga trying to move further away from the bottom of the table.
Here's a preview of tonight's games:
VITORIA x GAMA
Vitoria can temporarily join the promotion zone of the Serie B with a win over Gama at the Barradao Stadium on Tuesday. The team is coming off its second road win of the season, over Remo, and believes the support from its fans can make the difference on the game against the team from the Federal capital. At home the team has won seven and lost two, including its last home game, against Paulista. Gama could jump to sixth in the standings with a win, but the team hasn't won on the road yet in the Serie B. Right-back Apodi returns to Vitoria after settling an argument with coach Marco Aurelio. Jean will replace suspended Anderson Martins. Gama will probably field the same team that beat Gremio Barueri 5-3 in its last game.
IPATINGA x PAULISTA
After three straight wins took the team out of last place in the standings, Paulista will keep its comeback efforts on full alert this Tuesday, when they travel to Ipatinga to face the 11th placed team in the standings. The locals are also coming off a good result, beating Sao Caetano away on Saturday to get their first road win of the season. Ipating will try to take advantage of its strong play at home, where it has won six, tied one and lost only one game in the Serie B. Paulista has only one win on the road, with seven losses and one draw. Defensive midfielder Recife returns from suspension for Ipatinga, while another midfielder Luciano Sorriso, has been cleared to play by the medical staff. The same happens to goalkeeper Tiago Braga, who was also injured. Paulista will field the same team that beat Fortaleza.

UPDATE: Ipatinga defeated Paulista 2-0 and Vitoria beat Gama 3-1 to confirm the strength of the home teams in tonight's games.
