There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Serie B table so far. Here's the CRB - Avaí latest:
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.
It's quite the trip for Avaí when visiting CRB as the cities are 3100 kilometers apart.
CRB form and stats
Overall Serie B stats at home this season for CRB are 2-3-0 (wins-draw-losses). The home fans are hungry for more even though CRB have been steadily collecting points here at Estádio Rei Pelé through three straight draws.
The spoils were shared in CRB's previous game, also at home. Visiting America Mineiro (placed 6th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Botafogo SP.
The manager M. Ribeiro Cabo will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Confianca in only four days.
The CRB fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. From these home matches, CRB have conceded only 4 goals.
Avaí form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie B travels is 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
180 minutes! That's how long the Avaí goalkeeper Lucas Henrique Frigeri and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
G. Rodríguez scored in Avaí's previous match, the home game against Figueirense that ended 1-0. Preceding that game was the away victory against Cruzeiro with the score of 1-0.
After this away game Avaí return home for a Serie B game against Brasil de Pelotas. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Avaí have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 5 league away games 5 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on Avaí as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - one - seven (CRB wins - draws - Avaí wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
