Serie A game forecast and preview for the Avaí vs Cuiabá encounter

Cuiabá have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Avaí and Cuiabá should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Avaí form and stats

Avaí are steadily winning Serie A games and points here at Estádio Aderbal Ramos da Silva. 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 7 games.

The home followers saw a 2-2 draw versus Palmeiras last time out and are looking for a win here. Pyerre was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Palmeiras after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today? Bissoli, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the declared top player for the side in that match, earning a rating of 7.44 (out of 10). Bissoli scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Prior to that, an away loss at Fluminense.

Cuiabá form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cuiabá so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-5 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Cuiabá's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Cuiabá have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 315 minutes ago. Andre was the goal scorer.

Cuiabá lost away at Goias (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Midfield player Gava was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.75/10. Gava hit the woodwork once, hit four key passes and had 28 successful passes (of 33 total).

A draw for Cuiabá before that, at their own venue hosting Ceara (0-0).
