Match preview: CRB vs Athletic
CRB and Athletic will play at Rei Pelé Stadium in a match for the 21st round of Serie B. The last time these teams met in this league, CRB emerged victorious with a score of (1-2) on 13 April 2025. Recent direct encounters favour the home team, who have won two consecutive matchups. The home advantage will be crucial, as CRB has seen a significant discrepancy in their home and away performances.
Team analysis: CRB
With 7 wins, 4 draws, and 9 losses, the home team currently holds the 12th position with 25 points. In their last outing, they lost to Chapecoense (3-2), having previously won at home with a commanding (4-0) over Novorizontino. Their performances are notably stronger at home, as evidenced by their record of 2 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses away, scoring 13 goals and conceding 20, compared to 9 wins, 2 draws, and 4 home losses with 22 goals scored and 10 conceded. Following a recent home defeat to Cruzeiro (0-2), CRB has collected 19 points out of a possible 27 from their last 9 home fixtures. The most common score at half-time in their home games has been 1-0 (5 times in 9 games). Defensive solidity has not been their strong suit, conceding goals in 8 of the last 10 league matches. Furthermore, their home games tend to see fewer goals, with 7 of the last 9 matches featuring fewer than 3 goals. In their 20 games this season, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only managed to turn the scoreboard around once.
Despite currently sitting in the middle of the table, CRB’s inconsistent performance raises alarm bells as they approach the relegation zone. With recent matches yielding more disappointments than victories, the pressure for a positive result intensifies. Playing at home amplifies the necessity for a win, and they will need to assert themselves on the pitch. Expectations are for a more aggressive and focused approach from the outset, as victory is essential to allay fears of relegation and restore confidence within the squad.
Team analysis: Athletic
Athletic finds themselves in 13th position with 24 points, having recorded 7 wins, 3 draws, and 10 losses. Their last match ended in a 1-1 draw at home against Atletico GO, following another draw (1-1) away against Paysandu. Athletic has maintained a steady performance while playing away from home, amassing a record of 6 wins, 2 draws, and 7 losses on the road out of their last 30 matches, whereas their home record stands at 6 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses. In the last 10 away matches in the league, Athletic has achieved 4 victories, 1 draw, and 5 defeats, gathering 13 points from a possible 30. The team has struggled defensively, conceding goals in 8 of their last 10 matches, although their attack remains reliable, scoring in 9 of the last 10 league games. In 20 matches this season, they have managed to overturn a deficit only once in the 8 games where they conceded the first goal. Notably, they scored 4 of their 11 goals during the minutes between (16’–30′) in their last 10 away matches.
Athletic is showing clear improvement in Serie B, with solid performances in recent fixtures, which include only two defeats in their last ten matches. Even while positioned towards the bottom of the table, the team has been competitive against more established opponents. When playing away, they are expected to adopt a more cautious approach, prioritising possession and seeking quick transitions. While a draw may be seen as a favourable outcome, the team aims to seize any chance to spring a surprise. The focus will be on maintaining their current form and continuing to score, solidifying their place in the competition.
