It hasn't been easy for Náutico so far, and the same description fits CSA. These students from the school of hard knocks have a chance to get some important points here.
- Náutico have the most conceded goals in the first half (7) in Serie B
- CSA have yet to win a game away.
Not much time to rest for the hosting team, as they performed in a Serie B match only four days ago. This match was also played here at Estádio Eládio de Barros Carvalho. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, CSA have had more rest.
Náutico form and stats
1-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Náutico so far this season.
Amarildo was the last player to score a league goal for Náutico and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Náutico haven't scored in 180 minutes.
The Náutico supporters got no joy from their last match, also played here at Estádio Eládio de Barros Carvalho: A 0-1 defeat against Cruzeiro (placed 1st). The forward Carlos outdid all the other footballers in that match and got a match rating of 7.71 out of 10. Carlos hit six key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Prior to that, an away loss at Vila Nova.This is expected to be a close game, with Náutico perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.
