While he collected high points from a win and a draw, and hopes to continue his strong start and install his feet between the top half teams of the ranking.
The match will be a serious test of the aspirations of the two teams, especially in light of the balance of offensive and defensive performance, which threatens a strict tactical conflict on the field.
