Sergipe head into the contest positioned 2nd in the Serie D standings, while ASA arrive sitting 3rd. The hosts have been steady if unspectacular, DLLDW in their last five reflecting a win rate of 40%. The visitors have been picking up results steadily, DDDWW over their last five with a campaign win rate of 40%. One side has leaned on a miserly defence, the other on a free-scoring attack, and the meeting of those contrasting strengths promises an intriguing tactical subtext. Arsenal also saw the importance of having good depth at right-back when Mosquera was forced to start the Champions League final with PSG out of position - which then resulted in the young Spaniard conceding a penalty.

How the two sides approach the contest strategically will be key. Sergipe will want to control proceedings in front of their own supporters, while ASA will back themselves to cause problems on the break. Anderson can still play proactively from deep, but he will have other technical players around him to lighten the load in possession, and zones to hit rather than always playing to feet.

Individual quality could tip the balance. The league's leading scorer Michel Douglas, with 7 goals to his name this season, is a reminder of the firepower on display. Whoever wins the individual duel between the two sides' chief playmakers is likely to dictate the rhythm and, ultimately, the destination of the points. He was only 18 years old when he scored his first Champions League goal for Benfica in a 4-3 win over Juventus.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. Given the balance of the numbers, Sergipe should have enough to edge it — a 2-1 victory looks the most likely outcome. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. Fulham's Antonee Robinson could be one of those, who would likely be a cheaper alternative to Hall, who has just enjoyed a breakout season with the Magpies.
