CRB

LDDDDW

CRB will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 1-0 Serie B victory vs Criciuma.

In that match, CRB had 50% possession and 17 shots at goal with 2 on target. For their opponents, Criciuma had 18 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Marcelo Benevenuto (57' Own goal) was the scorer for Criciuma.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games that CRB have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that CRB have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 6 goals during that time. Such a trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this next game, of course.

Santos

LLDLDL 📉

After being beaten in their last game against Corinthians in Serie A action, Santos and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Santos managed 37% possession and 6 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target. On the other side, Corinthians had 11 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Yuri Alberto (66') was the scorer for Corinthians.

It has become apparent that Santos have struggled for goals over their previous 6 encounters, recording the poor return of only 3. In those fixtures, Peixe have also seen the overall goal aggregate of their opponents equal 6.

🗞️ Team News: Santos

Santos boss Cléber Xavier has some current player fitness concerns. Guilherme (Hip flexor problems), Yeferson Soteldo (Hamstring muscle injury), João Schmidt (Hamstring injury) and Aderlan (Hamstring injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the view that CRB will need to push hard to put one past this Santos lineup who should manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

We’re therefore seeing a very even contest with a 0-1 winning margin for Santos at the conclusion of the game.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
