Náutico form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie B this season. Náutico have only managed 3 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Estádio Eládio de Barros Carvalho. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Náutico with their four defeats in a row. Not since the CRB game, 23 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Donato (own goal) 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 252 minutes.

Náutico are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus CSA. Jobson (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.31/10. Jobson hit two key passes.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-4 away at Cruzeiro.

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 10 games. Náutico has won 1 of these, drawn 5 and lost 4.

The Náutico fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 13 matches. Náutico have conceded 17 in these home matches.

There were no winners in Ituano's previous match, the home game that ended 0-0 vs Operario PR (placed 18th).

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Gremio.
