Santa Cruz form and stats
Santa Cruz delivered a 3-3 draw playing at home against Náutico (placed 6th) in their previous match. As you can tell from the result, the match against Náutico was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Afogados.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Santa Cruz manager Ribeiro as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Vitória.
