CRB believe to fill the stadium for this fixture despite that the season has been back-breaking so far with 10 points and a 15th spot in the Serie B table. Opponents CSA hold 10th place with 11 pts.

Insights:
  • CRB have the most conceded goals (13) in Serie B
  • CSA have yet to win a game away.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Serie B.

CRB form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie B, CRB have managed 2 wins, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 4 games. Two home wins in a row for CRB bring valid hopes of a third.

The CRB goalkeeper Diogo Jose Goncalves da Silva is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 193 minutes without conceding a goal in the Serie B.

It's back home for CRB, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Sport Recife away with the result 1-0. Ramon found the net in that victory. Goalkeeper Silva got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.8 out of ten. Silva topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Londrina.

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 CRB have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 7 matches with the results: Won 0, drawn 6 and lost 1.

CRB has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches.

CSA form and stats

The visitors are W0-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Serie B.

CSA are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the fixture against Novorizontino (placed 6th). Lourenço got a match rating of 7.84 in that game, top player of the team. Lourenço hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 6 of 6 times and had 28 successful passes (of 33 total).

Before that, CSA travelled to Nautico and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 7 similar matches played by CSA in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for CSA, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
