Vitória form and stats

Vitória must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Serie B games here at Estádio Manoel Barradas.

Vitória faced defeat in their previous match, away at Mirassol (0-2). Vitória's goalkeeper Arcanjo was extremely busy against Mirassol, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning seven saves. Leonardo was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.0 out of 10. The defender Leonardo hit one key pass and won 6 of 9 duels.

Preceding that match was the home game against Atlético GO that was lost 2-3.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Vitória's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 6 games, won 2 matches, drawn 1 and lost 3.

The manager Condé will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Avai in only three days.

The Vitória manager Condé has got the team scoring with 7 from 3 home games in the league.

CRB form and stats

CRB are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie B, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).

This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, the home defeat versus Vila Nova with 0-3 on the scoreboard. That defeat was their first after three consecutive league fixtures winning points. It is probably bad news for CRB that their goalie Silva managed six saves in the Vila Nova match, but still were unable to prevent a defeat. Falcão got a match rating of 7.71 in that game, top player of the team. Falcão hit one key pass and had 25 successful passes (of 26 total).

Prior to that result CRB won their away game at Novorizontino. The scoreline was 1-0.

After this away game CRB return home for a Serie B game against Juventude. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The attacking power of CRB when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. As opposed to that, CRB have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - five - one (Vitória wins - draws - CRB wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
