Chapecoense are welcoming Cruzeiro for another important game after their 0-2 result against 13th-placed Fortaleza.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Cruzeiro have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Cruzeiro form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cruzeiro so far with only 5 Serie A points returning home. The records show 0-5-7 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row.

There were no winners in Cruzeiro's previous match, a Serie A home game that ended 0-0 vs Fluminense (placed 15th). Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Internacional.

A new game in only three days for Cruzeiro, the Serie A home match versus São Paulo. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Cruzeiro as they have only managed to score 8 times from 12 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Cruzeiro have conceded 20 goals in their away games.
