Struggling Uberlândia will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Tombense in the upcoming league round. It’s 10th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Insights:
  • Uberlândia have the most conceded goals (16) in Mineiro 1
  • Tombense is in the best form (4-2-0)

Tombense could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Mineiro 1 game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Boa, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Tombense.

Tombense have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Uberlândia form and stats

Uberlândia, who have the most conceded goals (16) in Mineiro 1, have collected 4 points from their Mineiro 1 home games so far after 1-1-3.

The Uberlândia fans got no joy from their last match, a Mineiro 1 game also here at Estádio Municipal João Havelange: A 2-3 defeat against Athletic Club (placed 8th). A strong away win before that one, visiting Caldense and winning 2-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Uberlândia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Uberlândia as a small favourite), we find three games. Uberlândia has won two of these, drawn one and lost zero.

The Uberlândia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Uberlândia defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

1-3-0 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Tombense in their Mineiro 1 matches away.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Tombense in our archives, and the results are: one win for Tombense, three draws and seven defeats.

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.
