Cuiabá

DWLLDL

Cuiabá won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 0-3 Serie A loss in their previous game against Atlético Mineiro.

In that match, Cuiabá managed 33% possession and 4 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. Atletico Mineiro got 13 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Eduardo Vargas (28'), Gustavo Scarpa (61') and Paulinho (78') scored for Atlético Mineiro.

It’s been all too rare in recent games where Cuiabá have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Cuiabá have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 10 goals on the way.

Going into this one, Cuiabá have left without a victory over Palmeiras in their previous 5 league matches.

In the game prior to this, Palmeiras drew 0-0 in the Serie A match with São Paulo.

In that match, Palmeiras had 43% possession and 9 shots at goal with 3 on target. Sao Paulo had 16 attempts on goal with 1 on target.

A succession of hard-working showings by the Palmeiras defence has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their last 6 clashes combined. During the same period, their own attack force has managed to score 7. Such a trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, of course.

Heading into this contest, Palmeiras are undefeated in their previous 4 league matches away from home.
