Ponte Preta are slightly more successful this season, gaining 39 points in 28 matches played and sitting on 10th position. However, recent three matches got the team only one point after 2-2 draw with Chapecoense and defeats to Atletico Paranaense and Atletico Mineiro, 0-3 and 1-2 respectively. Away record of the visiting side is quite poor – only two wins in 14 away matches and 10 points gained. The most recent away win was taken nine matches on the road ago in the beginning of July.
Cruzeiro are undefeated in their recent five head-to-heads with Ponte Preta, taking three wins and two draws. The home clash with such convenient opponents appear to be a great opportunity for the Foxes to take three points and distant themselves from drop zone.
Prediction for the match: Cruzeiro to win.
