Cuiabá form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cuiabá so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 3-0-7 (win-draw-lose). Cuiabá has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

The attacking players of Cuiabá have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes.

Cuiabá's previous game was their home loss versus Fortaleza (0-1). The attacker Osorio got a match rating of 7.61 in that game. Osorio hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Coritiba wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Lacking goals? 10 of this side's most recent 11 league fixtures have contained two goals or less.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Cuiabá have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.
