After two games we know a little more about the qualities of Náutico and CRB in this fresh Serie B season. Read our match preview!
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 Náutico and CRB.
Náutico form and stats
The first Serie B game here at Itaipava Arena Pernambuco resulted in a draw. Last season Náutico's home game statistics were 1 victory, 2 draws and 1 defeat from 4 games.
Náutico drew their last game, also a home match. Operário PR (placed 2nd) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. Heartbreak before that as Náutico lost 1-3 at Avai's place.
This is expected to be a close game, with Náutico perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Náutico as a small favourite), we find eight games. Náutico has won three of these, drawn four and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Náutico as they are travelling to their away game against Vitória in the Serie B. That match is four days after this one.
Náutico has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
CRB form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Serie B ended in defeat. Last season CRB had these away match statistics: Played 3; won 1, drew 1 and lost 1.
The supporters enjoyed CRB's previous game versus Oeste (placed 14th), a Serie B 1-0 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Juventude wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with CRB playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were two CRB wins, four draws and five defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as CRB are hosting Brasil de Pelotas in the Serie B only three days away.
CRB have the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - three - four (Náutico wins - draws - CRB wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
