Cruzeiro are welcoming Figueirense for another important game after their 3-3 result against 14th-placed Guarani.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Figueirense have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Cruzeiro form and stats
4-3-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Cruzeiro so far this season.
The home supporters saw a 3-3 draw versus Guarani in the Serie B last time out and are looking for a win here. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Botafogo SP.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Welinton was able to secure the draw 3-3 in the game against Guarani after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Cruzeiro as they are travelling to their away game against Chapecoense in the Serie B. That match is four days after this one.
Cruzeiro has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. On the other hand, Cruzeiro have conceded 11 goals.
Figueirense form and stats
Figueirense have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 2-2-7 (11 played). Three has not been a lucky number for Figueirense as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Juventude match. Figueirense seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
E. Santos was the last player to score for the away team. Figueirense haven't scored a league goal in the last 235 minutes.
Figueirense play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Vitoria (placed 16th). A 0-1 loss hosting Operario PR before that.
A quick return to home after this game, as Figueirense are hosting Sampaio Corrêa in the Serie B only three days away.
Figueirense are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 4 goals from 11 away games. As opposed to that, Figueirense have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Figueirense - Cruzeiro 0-1 earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Cruzeiro, two draws and three wins for Figueirense. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
