Perhaps a welcome break from league football as CRB & CSA face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa do Nordeste. All the pre-match information is available here!

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

The hosts CRB saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Copa do Nordeste. That game was an away game at Campinense, so at least CRB are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

CRB form and stats

CRB was eliminated in the quarter-finals last season in the Copa do Nordeste.

When playing at home in the Serie B, CRB have managed 8 wins, 9 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 19 games. On the other hand, in the Copa do Nordeste, CRB has performed like this (both home and away): 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.

The CRB coach Aal and his pawns return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Campinense.

Heartbreak before that as CRB lost 0-1 at CSA's place.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Globo are coming to town in four days.

The CRB fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 26 in 19 matches. CRB have only conceded 17 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

CSA form and stats

Last season their Copa do Nordeste adventure ended in the quarter-finals.

The visitors are W9-D2-L8 on the road this term. That's in the Serie B. When we have look at the Copa do Nordeste statistics, we find 2W-0D-1L. This is both home and away.

CSA have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Marcelo Henrique Passos Carne. It's been 291 minutes since they last conceded in Serie B.

Túlio scored in CSA's previous match, the home game against Floresta that ended 2-0.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus CRB in the Alagoano.

The schedule is very tough for CSA now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa do Nordeste game at Bahia is waiting in only three days.

CSA have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 19 league away games 20 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on CSA as they have only conceded 18 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): CRB three wins, five draws and CSA two victories. As for goals, zero matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), ten games had two or less.

There are 26 state football leagues in Brazil. Because of long distances in Brazil a very competitive football culture developed within each state. Therefore, Brazil remain one of the few countries who still run state championships alongside the national ones. Most of them run from January to May, outside the national season.
