Tombense form and stats

Tombense enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Tupynambas's place. The match ended 1-0 with Ibson scoring. In the game before, an away victory in the Serie C match versus Boa with a 1-0 scoreline.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Mineiro 1 game versus Boa in only four days. This game is also played here at Estádio Antônio Guimarães de Almeida.

Last season, Tombense's league statistics were 6 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses, resulting in a 7th position in the Serie C. Over these 18 matches they scored 17 goals and conceded 20. Playing at home last season Tombense managed 3-4-2 (win-draw-lost) with 12 goals and 11 conceded.

Cruzeiro form and stats

Three consecutive losses in away matches means Cruzeiro are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Cruzeiro won their last game, 2-0 versus Boa played at home. A loss against Palmeiras was the result prior to that, in a Serie A home game.

A quick return to home after this game, as Cruzeiro are hosting Villa Nova in the Mineiro 1 only four days away.

Let's have a look at how Cruzeiro performed last season in the Serie A: They landed a 17th position in the league table after playing out 7 victories, 15 draws and 16 defeats. In total they scored 27 and conceded 46 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 7 and lost 10 with 14/29 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: 1 win for Tombense, 1 draw and 5 wins for Cruzeiro. Over 2,5 goals: 5 times; under 2,5 goals: 2 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.
