Bola Rolando: Operário has decisive night and can finally approach G6

The Operário Ferroviário in Serie B comes to one more of those matches that can completely change the outlook of the championship. In this 31st round, the Ghost faces the Youth in Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul, in a confrontation that is worth much more than three points.

It's high table game. It's a game of those who still look up.

The round started busy and showed once again how this Series B is balled. Novorizontino beat Goiás 3 to 0 and reached 54 points, while other teams that fight directly for the first positions also enter the field in this sequence of the competition.

For the Worker, therefore, there is no room to relax.

Victory can relocate the Ghost in the G6

The Worker enters the round with 48 points. A win away from home takes the team to 51 and keeps the team definitely engaged in the dispute for the first places.

And here is the main point: at this point in the championship, any positive sequence quickly changes the scenario.

The Phantom managed to remain competitive during the Serie B and reaches the decisive straight yet having much to fight for. This, by itself, already turns every game into a decision.

On the other side will be a Youth who makes a strong campaign. The Gaucho team appears among the first placed and has as one of its main characteristics the defensive consistency.

It won't be a simple game.

On the contrary.

Youth needs maximum attention

Youth works with a three-back system and usually sets up a fairly populated midfield. It is a competitive team, difficult to beat and that knows how to use the Alfredo Jaconi factor very well.

Therefore, the Worker will need to enter concentrated from the first minutes.

The probable formation of the Ghost presented for the match has Wagner; Doca, Cuenu, Josef and Gabriel Feliciano; Matheus Trindade, Vinícius Diniz and Boschilia; as well as offensive options that leave a doubt between Aylon and Moraes Junior to complete the attacking sector.

It is precisely in the balance between defending well and being able to attack the Youth that may be the key to the match.

Outside the house, you can not offer spaces. But you also can’t just accept the pressure of the opponent for 90 minutes.

It's time to look up

The Worker has spent much of this Series B showing that he can compete equal to equal with traditional opponents.

Now it has come to the stage where it must also appear in the classification.

Mathematics is getting shorter. There are fewer and fewer games left and direct confrontations are gaining enormous weight.

If the Phantom manages to score in Caxias do Sul, especially with a victory, it enters even stronger in the discussion for the first positions.

The conversation changed.

It’s no longer just a good campaign, it’s definitely a fight for something bigger.

It's night for the Worker to show that he wants to keep looking up.

Because from now on, every point is worth a lot. And every win can represent a huge jump on the table.
