Sao Raimundo EC vs Cuiaba Prediction: Interesting Fixture for Round One

In the upcoming fixture of Copa do Brasil, São Raimundo will take on Cuiaba at the Estádio Canarinho in Boa Vista. Walking in the contest, Cuiaba will be the outright favorites for winning, as so their international and domestic reputation persists. Going in the scheduled contest, the two sides will be facing off against each other for the very first time on the football field. In order to determine the expected outcomes of the match and other dynamics we can go through the previous stats and performances of the two competing teams.

Going in the matchup, Sao Raimundo will be looking to keep up with its home form and continue the same from the previous season. With a 40% win record in the previous season, Sao Raimundo is likely to give Serie A sides a reasonable competition. Talking about the goal scoring average, Sao Raimundo averages 1.40 goals per game, whereas the conceding rate was just 0.80 goals. Hence, scoring against Raimundo will be tough for Cuiaba. With no wins in the last five matches played, Sao Raimundo is likely to be under intense pressure.

Going in the matchup, Cuiaba will be playing after a break of a couple of months, as it last played against Avai and won the match (1-0). New season brings new challenges, which need to be dealt smartly. Talking about goal scoring, Cuiaba has scored 17 goals in the last 20 matches played. With an under-par goal scoring average, Cuiaba is likely to struggle. Secondly, with just three wins in the last 10 Serie A matches played, Cuiaba is likely to press on the paddle and deliver a fine performance in the competition. With a goal conceding average of 1.4 goals per game in the last 10 played, Cuiaba is likely to allow opposition easy scoring.

With Copa do Brasil lining up, teams will be confident of making an impact in the initial rounds of the tournament. For the upcoming fixture, I believe that the Serie A side will be favorites for scoring. Hence, I am backing the away team to win and win by a margin of 1 goal.
