CSA battle against Confiança for glory and sporting success.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for CSA and Confiança.

CSA form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for CSA's two home games in the Serie B so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Estádio Rei Pelé. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for CSA with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Guarani game, 27 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

CSA are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus América Mineiro. Ahead of that match, CSA lost 0-2 at home to CRB.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the CSA at home in the league. 1 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Confiança form and stats

The Serie B season is young and Confiança have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.

The Confiança goalkeeper Jean Carlos Drosny is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 244 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Impressive finishing from Leandro Kivel secured the home win 1-0 against Vitória in their previous game. A 0-0 draw at Figueirense's stadium before that.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager M. Silva Ferreira da Costa when Leandro Kivel scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 74th minute.

The schedule is very tough for Confiança now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie B game at Juventude is waiting in only three days.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Confiança's away games in the league this season with only 0 goals from 3 matches. As opposed to that, Confiança have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

As for the last six games between these two teams, there's three CSA victories, two draws and one Confiança win. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
