Avaí are welcoming Cruzeiro for another important game after their 0-2 result against Botafogo.

The visiting Cruzeiro played their last game only four days ago, a Copa do Brasil match. That match was played in the comfort of their own home stadium, hosting Internacional. There's been little rest and some travel, but Cruzeiro will do their best.

It's quite the trip for Cruzeiro when visiting Avaí as the cities are 1200 kilometers apart.

Cruzeiro form and stats

Cruzeiro have only collected 2 points from their away games after 0-2-5 (7 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Cruzeiro have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Deportivo Lara game.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Copa do Brasil home defeat versus Internacional with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Cruzeiro manager Mano Menezes faced defeat when travelling to Atlético Mineiro and losing 0-2.

The attacking power of Cruzeiro when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored in 7 matches. For Cruzeiro, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head
