Cuiabá have struggled for points this season. Could they get something when Athletico PR comes to visit Arena Pantanal?
- Cuiabá have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (4) in Serie A
- Athletico PR have the most matches over the total-line (10) in Serie A
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa Sudamericana. That game was also an away game, at LDU Quito. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1700 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Cuiabá form and stats
With 1 Serie A win, 3 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Cuiabá, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) at home in Serie A, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Cuiabá drew their last game, also a home match. Bahia (placed 10th) was the opponent, 1-1 the score. Midfield player Pepê got a match rating of 7.41 in that game, the max score being 10. Pepê scored one goal and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times.
A 0-0 draw away before that, with Internacional the opponent.This is expected to be a close game, with Cuiabá perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cuiabá as a small favourite), we find six games. Cuiabá has won three of these, drawn two and lost one.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Gremio are coming to town in three days.
Cuiabá has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
Athletico PR form and stats

Athletico are travelling again after losing away to LDU Quito in their previous match (0-1).
Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Sao Paulo.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Athletico PR playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three Athletico PR wins, one draw and six defeats.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting LDU Quito in just four days.
