Náutico form and stats
The overall Serie B results at home this season for Náutico are 5-5-4 (wins-draws-losses). Náutico are slowly digging their own grave here at Estádio Eládio de Barros Carvalho with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Brasil de Pelotas match.
It's back home for Náutico, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Operario PR away with the result 2-1. Vinicius and Caio Dantas found the net in that victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of H. Pinto dos Anjos when Caio Dantas scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 55th minute. Rafael Ribeiro was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.65 out of 10. The defender Ribeiro won 4 of 4 duels.
