Tombense form and stats

Things could have gone better for Tombense in their Mineiro 1 away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. It's three draws from Tombense's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs CAP Patrocinense.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Tombense playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and three home wins.

1 goal so far away for Tombense, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last eight matches): Cruzeiro five wins, one draw and Tombense two victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three 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.
