Season ticket holders at Estádio Manoel Barradas haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Vitória languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Cruzeiro will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Vitória have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
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.
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.
Vitória form and stats
Vitória have played 14 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-4-4 (wins-draws-losses).
The home team returns to Estádio Manoel Barradas after being equal after 90 minutes with Cuiaba (placed 4th) on their last time out; the Serie B game ended 3-3. Ahead of that match, Vitória lost 2-3 at home to Confiança.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? A painful moment in the game against Cuiaba was the missed penalty kick from João Victor in the 59th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie B game versus Juventude in only four days. This game is also played here at Estádio Manoel Barradas.
Vitória are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 14 games. Vitória are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Manoel Barradas in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 13 from 14 matches.
Cruzeiro form and stats
6-4-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Cruzeiro in their Serie B matches away. Cruzeiro are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.
Cruzeiro are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at CRB (placed 12th). That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus Brasil de Pelotas.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting CSA in just four days.
The attacking power of Cruzeiro when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 13 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Cruzeiro as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
