Season ticket holders at Centro de Integracao Comunitario Walter Ribeiro haven’t seen too many victories this season, with São Bento languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Cuiabá will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for São Bento and Cuiabá.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1400 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

São Bento are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. For Cuiabá most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.

São Bento form and stats

Overall Serie B stats at home this season for São Bento, who have the most conceded goals (47) in Serie B, are 5-5-6 (wins-draw-losses). With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for São Bento.

The home team returns to Centro de Integracao Comunitario Walter Ribeiro after sharing the points with Ponte Preta (placed 11th) on their last time out; the Serie B game ended 1-1. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Criciúma the opponent.

This is expected to be a close game, with São Bento perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with São Bento as a small favourite), we find 15 games. São Bento has won 8 of these, drawn 5 and lost 2.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for São Bento as they are travelling to their away game against Parana in the Serie B. That match is four days after this one.

The São Bento fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 16 matches. São Bento's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 19 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
