Cuiabá
WDWDLL ⚖
Cuiabá will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 2-1 Serie B loss in their previous game against Chapecoense.
In that match, Cuiabá had 63% possession and 16 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. The scorer for Cuiabá was Patrick De Lucca (68'). For their opponents, Chapecoense had 8 shots 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.
