Sergipe Cruzeiro 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 gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 17 goals scored and 10 conceded; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 12 conceded. In their last match, for the Mineiro 1, they got a home tie against Villa Nova by (2‑2). In the last 10 away matches Cruzeiro has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 14 of the last 32 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 22 out of 32 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Cruzeiro play away from home and want to beat Sergipe showing dedication and good football. The Minas Gerais team must adopt a proactive stance against this opponent, so they will need concentration and need to attack with strength and organisation, relying on the ability of their strikers to take advantage of the goal-scoring opportunities created and score a goal. In addition, the team must be extremely careful in the defensive system, which must be alert throughout the 90 minutes and must ensure intense and dedicated defensive marking. A draw is enough for Cruzeiro to advance to the second round of the Copa do Brasil.

Confirmed Lineup: Rafael, Rafael Santos, Lucas Oliveira, Eduardo Brock, Machado, João Paulo, Willian, Giovanni, Rômulo, Edu, Waguininho.
Coach: F. Diniz Silva.
