Cruzeiro form and stats

Cruzeiro have played 17 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-9-4 (wins-draws-losses).

A good away victory last time out for Cruzeiro, who won 1-0 against Londrina (placed 17th). Thiago, who usually features in attack, was the best player for the team in that match, and was presented with a rating of 8.03 (out of 10). Thiago scored one goal and hit two key passes.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Vila Nova that ended 1-1.

Cruzeiro are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 17 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 24 goals have been conceded.

Brusque form and stats

Brusque have only collected 15 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 4-3-10 (17 played). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on W. Santos de Souza Dias, the Brusque manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Two away games in a row for Brusque, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-3 versus Confiança in the Serie B. Brusque were so close to getting something from the game against Confiança, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal two minutes into overtime. Midfield player Rodolfo Potiguar was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.45/10. Potiguar scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A home win before that, celebrating 4-3 vs Náutico.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Brusque have scored 17 goals in 17 league games away. The Brusque manager W. Santos de Souza Dias has some worries about the defense as 36 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The latest logged result featuring both these teams is the Brusque - Cruzeiro 1-2 played not long ago this season.
