Another interesting game in the Serie B. Brasil de Pelotas is in the 15th position after playing five matches. They welcome Cruzeiro who are placed 14th after six games.
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 1900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Brasil de Pelotas form and stats
Brasil de Pelotas are yet to win a home game, having collected 2 points from their first two Serie B games here at Estádio Bento da Silva Freitas. Two draws in a row at home now for Brasil de Pelotas.
Pelotas are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Operario PR. Prior to that, an away loss at Brusque in the Copa do Brasil.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie B game versus Nautico in only three days. This game is also played here at Estádio Bento da Silva Freitas.
Early season league goal statistics from Brasil de Pelotas's 2 home games: 2 goals, 2 conceded.
Cruzeiro form and stats
The seven points Cruzeiro have gathered from their first three away trips in the Serie B is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.
