The stage is lit for Santos - Cuiabá! Even considering the recent results, this game could be awesome!

Insights:
  • Santos have the most clean sheets (17) in Serie A
  • Cuiabá have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (14) in Serie A

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.

These teams have little in common geographically as Cuiabá have to travel 1600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Santos can neither be promoted or relegated from Serie A. Cuiabá is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

A 1-1 draw away before that, with Internacional the opponent.

Cuiabá form and stats

As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Cuiabá have produced an overall stat of 3-10-5 so far.

Impressive finishing from Élton secured the home win 1-0 against Fortaleza in their previous game. The attacker Élton got a match rating of 7.4 in that game. Élton scored one goal and hit two key passes.

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

Head 2 Head

This was the final score when the contenders played each other earlier this campaign; Cuiabá - Santos 2-1.
