CRB form and stats
3-3-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for CRB so far this season.
Happy days for CRB in their previous game, a fixture away at Chapecoense (placed 14th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Fabinho, who plays in attack, was the best performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 8.22 (out of 10). Fabinho scored two goals and dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Ituano that ended 1-1.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 10 matches with the results: Won 1, drawn 8 and lost 1.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for CRB, as the Serie B home game vs Guarani is only three days away.
CRB are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Rei Pelé in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 7 matches.
Tombense form and stats
There's been little loot from Tombense's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the Serie B. Tombense only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 3 draws.
Tombense's last game was the home draw against Nautico (1-1). Midfielder Ricardo was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.65. Ricardo hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 65 successful passes (of 76 total).
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Novorizontino at their stadium, the result 3-1.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Tombense playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were 2 Tombense wins, 6 draws and 6 defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Tombense manager Maria as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Ponte Preta.
As opposed to that, Tombense have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
