Acreano take on the visitors Santa Cruz at “Estadio Antonio Aquino Lopes” in the matchday 11 of the Brazilian Serie C. The game will be played in Rio Branco on Monday, June 25th.
Acreano have excelled all expectations as for the complete debutant of the Serie C. Last year the side reached a historical success – promotion to the Serie C with 20-year old squad, having been the poorest club of the Serie D. And in this season “Galo” is taking the lead in Group A standings of the third division. The team has been demonstrating astonishing performance at the home ground so far, having picked up 15 out of overall 20 points in face of its supporters. Acreano succeeded in all five home battles with 11:0 aggregated score.

Meanwhile, in 2016 Santa Cruz won the Campeonato Pernambucano and theCopa do Nordeste, but have not managed to stay with the Serie A. Moreover, the club completely failed last season in the Serie B, having relegated to the lower division. Having lost its key players, “Cobra Coral” still has one of the most expensive squad in the Serie C. At the moment “Tricolor” settles on the fourth place in the table with 14 points earned, having collected the same seven points like on the road, like in front of its fans. Santa Cruz lost four points in two latest battles, having got 0:0 draw against Salgueiro and 0:1 defeat from Nautico.
Apart from Santa Cruz’s solid performance, their trip to Acre state is going to be an extremely difficult due to a long and complicated flight to the border with Bolivia. Thus, distance and climate are two major trumps of the upcoming hosts. Besides, after 2:2 draw against outsider Remo on the road, “Cobra Coral” stuck in Mangeiran till Wednesday while Acreano calmly prepared to the Monday tackle.
Prediction for the match: Acreano to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
