Cuiabá
WDWDLL ⚖
Cuiabá will be looking for an improved result here following the 2-1 Serie B loss in their previous game against Chapecoense.
In that game, Cuiabá had 63% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 1 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Cuiabá was Patrick De Lucca (68'). Chapecoense got 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Maílton (8') scored for Chapecoense.
It has been all too rare in recent games where Cuiabá have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Cuiabá have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 8 goals during that time. Historical results aside, time will tell whether such a trend will be maintained in this next game.
