Market: Cruzeiro win

Odds: 4/6 @ 888sport

Simply looking to widen their buffer at the top of the Serie B table on Wednesday night, Cruzeiro will host CRB when the midweek second-tier fixtures get underway.

Starting with the hosts, only continuing on what has been a real purple patch since opening the 2022 campaign, Cruzeiro really find themselves tipped as a leading promotion pick. In their opening eight Serie B matchups so far this season, they have recorded eight wins, one draw and just a single defeat, scoring 12 and conceding four in return. Managing to muster a hugely impressive points tally of 25 from a possible 30, they open the midweek fixtures sat holding a commanding six-point buffer at the top of the Serie B table. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-1 win away at Operario, Cruzeiro have now won each of their previous eight matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should also be noted, Wednesday’s hosts are unbeaten in their last 10 straight home fixtures, recording nine victories.

As for the visitors, while CRB might have been disappointed to have collected just a single point last week, they are enjoying a recent boost. In their opening 10 Serie B matchups this season, they have recorded three wins, two draws and five defeats, scoring seven and conceding 13 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 11 from a possible 30, they open the midweek fixtures sat 13th in the table and just a single point adrift of breaking into the top-half. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 0-0 stalemate against CSA on home soil, CRB have lost just one of their last five matchups across all formats. However, it should be noted, with Wednesday’s guests losing four of their last five contests on the road, we’re backing a home victory here for the leading promotion contenders.
