It's still early in the Copa do Nordeste season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the CRB - Botafogo PB preview!
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
CRB form and stats
CRB have only played one Copa do Nordeste game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 2 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats from 2 matches. CRB has won so many consecutive home games (eight in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estádio Universitário da UFAL. We remember; it was Parana.
CRB drew their last game, 1-1 away at CSA.
Diego Ivo was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against CSA after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
There will be little rest for CRB after this match as they are travelling to Vitoria for a Copa do Nordeste game in only three days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the CRB at home in the league. 2 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Botafogo PB form and stats
0 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. That’s the product of Botafogo PB playing as the away team in the Copa do Nordeste this season. Botafogo have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row.

After this away game Botafogo return home for a Copa do Nordeste game against Ceara. That game is only four sleeps after this.
It's early days yet, but Botafogo PB has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
