Joinville take on the visitors Cruzeiro at "Arena Joinville" in the round three of the Brazilian Primeira Liga’s group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, March 22nd.
All Joinville's efforts to stay in the Serie B last season were in vain and resulted in their relegation to Serie C. Serie C has not started yet in 2017, but a great number of other tournaments are on the run in which the team played already 17 games, recording six wins, five draws and six defeats. As for the Brazilian Primeira Liga, Joinville have only theoretical chances to progress from the group with compulsory smashing 4:0 triumph against Cruzeiro.

Cruzeiro have finished the season of 2016 only in 12 place in Serie A. The team made conclusions from last season failures by recording 12 wins and single draw in 13 matches in all tournaments. Cruzeiro have recorded four clean sheets in recent games, i.e. they have no conceded goals during 360 minutes in all competitions. In total they have only five goals conceded alongside with 29 goals scored.
Joinville and Cruzeiro met twice, both times in 2015, exchanging 3:0 home wins. Currently there is a great gap in teams’ levels and I believe that Cruzeiro will get victory on the road.
Prediction for the match: Cruzeiro to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
