An important duel in the bottom section of the Serie B, with both Oeste and Cruzeiro experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 20th and the visitors in 18th place.

Oeste form and stats

Oeste's results here at Estádio Municipal dos Amaros in the Serie B have been very modest with 1 victory, 1 draw and 5 defeats. It's trouble wherever Oeste are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Oeste, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Oeste crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Operario PR here at Estádio Municipal dos Amaros in a Serie B match. Prior to that, an away loss at Figueirense.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Oeste here at Estádio Municipal dos Amaros in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 7 games). Oeste have conceded 11 from these games.

Cruzeiro form and stats

Playing away, Cruzeiro have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 3 defeats in the Serie B this season. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Cruzeiro's last three away games as they have all been lost.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie B home defeat versus Sampaio Corrêa with 1-2 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Cuiaba wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Cruzeiro find the net regularly in their away games. 6 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. 8 goals have been conceded by Cruzeiro in these games.
