Náutico get ready to welcome Cruzeiro for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa do Brasil 3rd Round leg 1 of 2.

Cruzeiro have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Náutico form and stats

This is not the first game this season in the Copa do Brasil for Náutico, as the manager Cavalcanti led his troops to eliminate Vila Nova and Sao Bernardo, and reach the 3rd Round. Náutico was eliminated in the 1st round last season in the Copa do Brasil.

Náutico have collected 22 points from their Serie B home games so far after 6-4-9.

Náutico drew their last game, also a home match. Salgueiro (after extra-time, 13-14 on penalties) was the opponent, 1-1 the score. Vieira felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Salgueiro as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 57th minute.

Previous to that game, a Pernambucano 1 home match hosting Petrolina in a game that was won 1-0.

Náutico are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 24 goals in 19 games. Náutico's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 27 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Cruzeiro form and stats

They also participated in Copa do Brasil last season. This ended in the round of 16.

Two away games in a row for Cruzeiro, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus America Mineiro.

A loss against America Mineiro was the result prior to that, in a Mineiro 1 home game.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Cruzeiro manager Filipe as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Corinthians.

Head 2 Head

Cruzeiro have pulled off a streak of 10 consecutive games without defeat (6-4-0) when facing Náutico.
