Brasil de Pelotas form and stats

There's been little loot from Brasil de Pelotas's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 14 away games in the Serie B. Brasil de Pelotas only have 0 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 5 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Pelotas have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 17 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the EC Sao Jose game.

Pelotas are looking to quickly end their 270 minutes long goal drought in the Serie B.

The manager J. Testoni was unhappy after their last game, a Serie B match played at their home ground Estádio Bento da Silva Freitas. Brasil de Pelotas suffered a 0-2 loss to Brusque (placed 16th).

Prior to that match, the Pelotas manager J. Testoni faced defeat when travelling to Ponte Preta and losing 0-1.

A new game in only three days for Brasil de Pelotas, the Serie B home match versus Operario PR. Busy days.
