Brusque ended up with a 0-2 result vs Cruzeiro in their previous game, a fixture to learn from. The next task is this resolute CRB team.

Insights:
  • Brusque have the most conceded goals (54) in Serie B
  • CRB have the most points (27) away in Serie B

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

These teams have little in common geographically as CRB have to travel 3000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Brusque form and stats

7-5-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Brusque, who have the most conceded goals (54) in Serie B, so far this season. When Brusque hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Avai, Goias, Coritiba, Botafogo and Guarani), they have won 2 of 5 matches!

Brusque lost their last game at Cruzeiro (placed 11th) after a 0-2 scoreline. Éverton Alemão, defender, was given a rating of 7.41/10 in that game, top of the team. Alemão won 8 of 12 duels.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Confianca (2-3).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Brusque have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won five, drawn two and lost one.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Brusque, as the Serie B home game vs Operário PR is only four days away.

The Brusque fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 17 matches. Brusque are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Augusto Bauer in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 16 from 17 matches.

CRB form and stats

8-3-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for CRB, who have the most points (27) away in Serie B, in their Serie B matches away. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as CRB have lost on their last two travels.

CRB are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Serie B against Londrina (placed 17th). Guilherme Romão was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.45. The defender Romão hit two key passes and won 6 of 10 duels.

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

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with CRB playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were five CRB wins, four draws and seven defeats.

A new game in only three days for CRB, the Copa do Nordeste home match versus Moto Club MA. Busy days.

CRB have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 17 league away games 20 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 19 goals have been conceded by CRB in these games.

Head 2 Head

These teams encountered each other previously this season: CRB - Brusque 3-0.
