In a mid week match on Wed Jul 20th, in week 19, CSA will play host to Cruzeiro in a meeting of these two Serie B teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 24 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, CSA recorded a 2-1 win against Vila Nova. Osvaldo scored the first goal for CSA in the 45th minute, then Rodrigo Rodrigues Silva added another in the 75th minute. CSA looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 1st placed Cruzeiro, recorded a 2-1 win against Novorizontino. dos Santos da Silva scored the first goal for Cruzeiro in the 21st minute, but Quirino got the equalizer for Novorizontino in the 74th minute. Cruzeiro is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season CSA won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Cruzeiro is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Henrique Luvannor and Wagner Leonardo each only have 1 goal in their last 5. Batista de Faria and Rodrigues Silva are the top scorers for CSA in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
