A home team triumph, the away team claims the win or a score draw? It's all up in the air when the mid-table sides Tombense and CRB meet at Estádio Soares de Azevedo.

Insights:
  • CRB have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

CRB have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

CRB form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for CRB so far with only 17 points returning home. The records show 5-2-10 (win-draw-lose).

CRB play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Tombense (placed 12th). Midfielder Valoura was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.35. Valoura served one assist, hit one key pass and had 43 successful passes (of 53 total).

Before that, CRB secured a home win against Chapecoense with the score 2-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with CRB playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 6 CRB wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting CRB as they have only managed to score 14 times from 17 away games in the league. CRB have conceded 27 goals in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
