Cuiaba hopes to end their home league winless streak when they host Corinthians in Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A matchday 10 action on Tuesday at Arena Pantanal with kickoff at 3:30 pm.
The opening 10 league fixtures of the 2022 Brasileiro Serie A season for Cuiaba can be summed up as so close and yet so far. Manager Luiz Fernando lubel’s team have dropped four league contests by a single goal, squandering four points thus far from winning positions.
In his place, interim manager Márcio Pintado has adopted a similar approach to Dourado’s previous coach, Antonio Oliveira, who was sacked after a poor start to the second top flight campaign Cuiaba.
This team has often sat back under lubel and Pintado, focusing on maintaining a solid defensive shape while taking few chances in possession.
Timao began the month of June on a winning note, earning a point for a third consecutive road fixture, moving into first in the Brasileiro Serie A table with 18 points, thanks to a 0-0 draw between Palmeiras and Atletico Mineiro.
Like Cuiaba, the club from Tatuape is the most potent side in the league, scoring a goal or fewer in six of their last seven domestic fixtures. Still, they have done a much better job defensively, conceding multiple goals only twice this season.
