CRB form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie B, CRB have managed 7 wins, 9 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 18 games. There’s a good atmosphere here at Estádio Rei Pelé after three straight home wins.

CRB's last game was hosting Moto Club MA and winning 2-0.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Brusque (0-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how CRB have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won eight times, drawn three and lost two.

CRB has scored 23 league goals at home this season, in 18 matches. From these home matches, CRB have conceded only 16 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Vitória form and stats

Vitória have only collected 18 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 3-9-6 (18 played).

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Vitória goalkeeper Lucas Willians Assis Arcanjo is eager to challenge this, with his 225 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Vitória delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Botafogo PB (after extra-time, 5-6 on penalties) in their previous match; a Copa do Nordeste game. Drawing 2-2 against Botafogo PB (after extra-time, 5-6 on penalties) after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager W. Lopes needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Cruzeiro in the Serie B.

Vitória are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, eight draws and three defeats. From a total of twelve matches.

The attacking power of Vitória when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 18 league matches away. Vitória are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 15 times in 18 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
