Confiança form and stats

6 victories, 5 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Confiança have to build on here at Estádio Estadual Lourival Baptista in the Serie B.

Confiança enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Vitoria's place. The match ended 3-2 with Renan Gorne, Reis and Rafael Vila scoring. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Figueirense.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of D. Pollo Barioni when Renan Gorne scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 68th minute.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Confiança as they have a new game in only four days, a Serie B match thankfully also at home. Juventude are visiting.

Confiança are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 12 games. Confiança are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Estadual Lourival Baptista in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 10 from 12 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

CSA form and stats

There's been little loot from CSA's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 12 away games in the Serie B. CSA only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 4 draws.

The attacking players of CSA have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 184 minutes.

Home advantage was not enough for CSA in their previous game, as they lost their Serie B-match, hosting América Mineiro, 0-1. Before that, CSA travelled to CRB and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

A new game in only three days for CSA, the Serie B home match versus Oeste. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting CSA as they have only managed to score 8 times from 12 away games in the league. As opposed to that, CSA have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: CSA - Confiança 1-1. Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: one win for Confiança, three draws and three wins for CSA. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
