Cuiabá form and stats

Cuiabá have played three Serie A home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Cuiabá have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

The fans hope that Cuiabá will fight back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the Copa Sudamericana fixture against Melgar.

In the match before that, Cuiabá hosted Internacional and drew the Serie A game 1-1.

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 5 games. Cuiabá has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 0.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Cuiabá here at Arena Pantanal in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games).
