CRB form and stats
CRB are steadily winning Serie B games and points here at Estádio Universitário da UFAL. 4 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats is the summary from 6 games. Two home wins in a row for CRB bring valid hopes of a third.
The fans are hoping that CRB will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Copa do Brasil game against Fortaleza. Midfielder Erik was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.15 (out of ten) in that game. Erik dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that match, a Serie B win away at Sampaio Correa.This is expected to be a close game, with CRB perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with CRB as a small favourite), we find seven games. CRB has won four of these, drawn two and lost one.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Copa do Brasil game versus Fortaleza in only three days. This game is also played here at Estádio Universitário da UFAL.

Ponte Preta form and stats
Ponte Preta have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 0-3-4 (7 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Ponte Preta have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Sao Caetano game.
Ponte Preta won their last game, 2-1 versus Goias played at home. The attacker Rodrigão got a match rating of 7.43 in that game. Rodrigão scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager G. Kleina when Camilo scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Vitoria 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 Ponte Preta playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were two Ponte wins, one draw and ten defeats.
Goals are few and far between in Ponte's away league games. Only 3 goals from 7 travels. As opposed to that, Ponte have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
