It's still early in the Serie B season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the CRB - Vitória preview!
It's no vacation for neither CRB nor Vitória 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.
CRB form and stats
Perfect Serie B season at home so far for CRB 2 wins from 2 appearances. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Estádio Rei Pelé.
CRB's previous game was a Serie B match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Brasil de Pelotas (placed 13th). The home side are looking to build on that result. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Náutico the opponent.
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 twelve games. CRB has won four of these, drawn five and lost three.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for CRB, as the Copa do Brasil home game vs Cruzeiro is only four days away.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the CRB at home in the league. 2 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Vitória form and stats
Things could have gone better for Vitória in their Serie B away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. The last three matches for Vitória have all ended in a draw. One point away has become something of a habit for Vitória who have played out draws in their last three away games.
Vitória played 0-0 against Náutico in their previous match. A 3-3 draw at Ponte Preta's stadium before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Vitória playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were two Vitória wins, three draws and five defeats.
After this away game Vitória return home for a Copa do Brasil game against Ceara. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Vitória have the goal stats of 3-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for CRB, two draws and six wins for Vitória. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
