Fluminense de Feira Santa Cruz betting prediction

The team plays its first match in this edition of the Copa do Brasil with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 12 goals scored and 28 conceded; against 3 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 17 conceded. In their last match, for the Pernambucano 1, they got a home tie against Central by (1‑1). In the last 10 away matches Santa Cruz has tied 5 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 6 of their 16 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Playing away from home, the Santa Cruz team will try to neutralize the attacking moves of the opponent throughout the field, since with the new regulation of the competition, the team that plays away from home in this first phase only needs to draw to move forward in the Cup. The away team does not want to make it easy in this match as it aims to remain in the competition, so it should close in its defensive sector to stop the home team's attack and thus qualify for the second phase of the competition. In the last game played the team of Santa Cruz drew at home with the Central team by 1-1. The coach of the team should not have major absences for this bout.

Confirmed Lineup: Tiago Machowski, Genilson, Paulo Henrique, Renato, Vítor, Arthur, Hericlis, Jorginho, Luiz Otavio, Robinho, Vinícius.
Coach: E. de Toledo Piza.
