CSA form and stats

CSA have played 17 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 8-5-4 (wins-draws-losses).

CSA travelled for their previous game, a trip to Avaí that ended 1-1. Thiago Rodrigues, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.61 out of 10 in that game. Rodrigues stopped the opponent with five saves.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Remo in a game that was won 2-0.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from CSA's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won zero matches, drawn one and lost zero.

The CSA fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 24 in 17 matches. From these home matches, CSA have conceded only 15 goals.

Confiança form and stats

There's been little loot from Confiança's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 17 away games in the Serie B. Confiança only have 3 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 5 draws.

Confiança delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Nautico (placed 8th) in their previous match; a Serie B game. Midfielder Alvaro was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.43. Alvaro hit six key passes.

Before that, Confiança secured a home win against Brusque with the score 3-2.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Confiança playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, zero draws and two home wins.

The attacking power of Confiança when travelling is not overwhelming with 15 goals scored from 17 league matches away. 23 goals have been conceded by Confiança in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
