Paraná form and stats

3-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Paraná so far this season.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Cruzeiro (placed 13th) in their previous outing. The Serie B match ended in a draw 1-1. A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Sampaio Correa.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found twelve similar matches played by CRB in our archives, and the results are: two wins for CRB, five draws and five defeats.
