Match preview: Athletic vs CRB

Athletic and CRB will face off at the Joaquim Portugal stadium in a match of the 2nd round of Serie B. These two teams have met recently on 12 March 2024, which resulted in a victory for CRB by (2-0). It is crucial to closely observe the home/away conditions since Athletic’s results vary significantly when playing in front of their supporters compared to when on the road.

Team analysis: Athletic

The home team enters this 2nd round following a defeat in their opening match of the league against Atlético GO, with a score of (4-2). Athletic is considerably stronger when playing at home, boasting a record of 10 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses over their last 15 league matches at their stadium. In total, Athletic has secured 7 victories and suffered 3 defeats in their last 10 home games across all competitions. Though defensive solidity has been a concern, having conceded goals in 7 of those 10 matches, their attack has been prolific, scoring in 7 of the last 10 contests. Matches held at home tend to produce goals, with 14 of the last 20 ending with more than 2.5 goals.

After their disappointing start in Serie B, Athletic will be looking to respond strongly at home. The team aims to rectify the mistakes from the previous match and provide a more balanced performance, particularly defensively. Playing at home, Athletic will seek to assert their dominance with more possession and aggressive attacking play. The objective is to secure their first points of the campaign to build confidence as the season progresses. A win is imperative to prevent a negative start in the league standings.

Team analysis: CRB

The away side approaches this 2nd round following a victory in their opening encounter against Chapecoense, winning by (1-0). CRB has maintained a decent level of performance when playing away from home, with a record of 7 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses from their last 15 matches as visitors. In their last 10 away games, CRB has achieved 5 wins, 4 draws, and a single loss. While defensive strength has been an issue, with goals conceded in 7 of their last 10 matches, their attack has consistently found the net, scoring at least once in each of those games.

Confident following their opening win, CRB understands the challenges of playing away. The team is likely to adopt a cautious approach, looking to exploit gaps left by Athletic while ensuring they don’t expose themselves defensively. Maintaining their unbeaten record is the priority, so the team would regard a draw as an acceptable result. Having shown strong organisation and adaptability in their previous match, repeating such a performance could lead to another positive result while remaining in contention at the top of the table.
