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

It's no vacation for neither CSA nor Náutico 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.

CSA form and stats

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

CSA have collected 33 points from their Serie B home games so far after 9-6-4. On the other hand, in the Copa do Nordeste, CSA has performed like this (both home and away): 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.

The CSA goalkeeper Marcelo Henrique Passos Carne is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 291 minutes without conceding a goal in the Serie B.

The home team returns to Estádio Rei Pelé after drawing with Bahia on their last time out; the game ended 1-1.

Preceding that game was the away draw at CRB that finished 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how CSA have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won nine times, drawn two and lost one.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for CSA as they are travelling to their away game against Atletico Alagoinhas in the Copa do Brasil. That match is three days after this one.

The CSA fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 28 in 19 matches. CSA 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.

Náutico form and stats

Last season their Copa do Nordeste adventure ended in the group stage.

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie B travels is 6 wins, 5 draws and 8 defeats. Total Copa do Nordeste statistics for Náutico: 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.

Two trips in a row for Náutico, whose manager Conceição could celebrate last time after the win against Vera Cruz.

Before that, Náutico secured a home win against Atletico Alagoinhas with the score 3-0.

Náutico are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, four draws and five defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

Náutico have another match away from home in just three sleeps, a Copa do Brasil match versus Tocantinopolis. A strenuous fixture list for the guests!

The visiting Náutico have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 20 goals from 19 games. 25 goals have been conceded by Náutico in these games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the previous five meetings between these two teams are: two wins for CSA, one draw and two wins for Náutico. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: three games.

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.
