National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's CRB or Sergipe that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for CRB and Sergipe.
CRB form and stats
Last season, CRB's Copa do Nordeste journey ended in the semi-finals.The Serie B statistics at home this season for CRB are 8-8-3 (wins-draws-losses).
CRB are returning here after visiting Alianca AL and winning with a 3-1 scoreline.
Ahead of that match, CRB won a home game hosting Cruzeiro Arapiraca (2-1).The match schedule is unforgiving for CRB as they have a new game in only three days, a Alagoano match thankfully also at home. Coruripe are visiting.
CRB has scored 21 league goals at home this season, in 19 matches. CRB are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Rei Pelé in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 15 from 19 matches.
Sergipe form and stats
Sergipe was sent out of Copa do Nordeste in the group stage last season.It's the second away game in a row for Sergipe, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Estanciano last time out.
A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Dorense.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sergipe manager Jaques as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Fortaleza.
Head 2 Head
