Cuiaba VS Sao Bernardo

Sitting 13th in the Brazilian Serie B table, Cuiaba has hit a rough patch recently with three straight losses. Their attacking output has dropped sharply, failing to find the back of the net for multiple consecutive matches. Even at their home Pantanal Arena, they have struggled to pick up points lately. With no realistic shot at promotion and barely any relegation pressure, their motivation for this fixture is fairly low. Their opponent Sao Bernardo ranks 11th with 49 points, still a fair distance away from the promotion playoff spots. They boast a far more potent attack than Cuiaba with a higher average goals per game, though their form is wildly inconsistent with alternating wins and losses. They have also proven capable of picking up points on the road. Cuiaba still retains a solid defensive structure, and a low block plus counter-attack game plan could work well against a side that tends to underperform on away days. The two sides played out a 2-2 draw when they faced off earlier this season.
