CRB and Cruzeiro have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie B.
It's no vacation for neither CRB nor Cruzeiro as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
CRB form and stats
CRB have collected 22 points from their Serie B home games so far after 6-4-2.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 246 minutes without scoring a league goal. Hyuri was the last player to find the net.
CRB are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Sampaio Corrêa. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus CSA.
CRB are traveling soon after this match as the Serie B match at Chapecoense awaits in four days.
