Match Preview
Cuiabá will host Novorizontino at the Arena Pantanal on Saturday, 11 October, in a crucial Serie B clash. Both teams come into this match with mixed recent form; Cuiabá has recorded two wins and three losses in their last five outings, while Novorizontino has managed just one win alongside three draws and a defeat. Historically, Cuiabá has dominated this fixture, winning all but one of the last ten encounters, with a notable lack of goals, as evidenced by only one match exceeding 2.5 goals.
A key angle to consider is Cuiabá's home advantage. They have been formidable at the Arena Pantanal, where the support of their fans could play a significant role in boosting their performance. Additionally, Novorizontino's struggles to find the back of the net in previous meetings against Cuiabá could weigh heavily on their confidence. With both teams needing points to improve their standings, this match promises to be a tactical battle, but Cuiabá's historical edge and home support may prove decisive.
