Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Democrata GV & Santa Cruz face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa do Brasil. All the pre-match information is available here!
These teams have little in common geographically as Santa Cruz have to travel 1700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It's no vacation for neither Democrata GV nor Santa Cruz as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Democrata GV form and stats
An away draw last time out for Democrata GV, facing CAP Patrocinense in a game that ended 1-1. Silva was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against CAP Patrocinense after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
Previous to that game, a Mineiro 1 home match hosting Pouso Alegre in a game that was won 1-0.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Democrata have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 6 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 0 and lost 3.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Democrata GV as they have a new game in only four days, a Mineiro 1 match thankfully also at home. Atletico Mineiro are visiting.
Santa Cruz form and stats
Last season their Copa do Brasil adventure ended in the 2nd round.It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Retro in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 1-1.
A loss, in the Copa do Nordeste away at CRB, before that. So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Santa Cruz playing away and similar expectations, we found 12 relevant matches. Results were 5 Santa wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats.
