Macaé Madureira betting prediction

The home team comes to this 2^nd round after a (1‑0) loss in their league debut, against Volta Redonda. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 13 goals scored and 16 conceded. In the last 6 home league matches Macaé has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 11 points out of 18 possible. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They haven't been able to score the first goal. In fact, they have only opened up the score in 3 of the last 12 matches for the Carioca 1, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 1 of those 3 matches and held on to the lead until the end of the match in all of them. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 12 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 13 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 10 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Macaé has done the worst campaign of Guanabara Cup, ending the group phase in the flashlight of the competition with just 4 points in 6 games played, playing with all their hopes in a new journey for the Rio Cup, although that didn't start the best possible way as the club was defeated in their debut against Volta Redonda by 1-0, which turns the victory very important in this state second round.

Confirmed Lineup: Rodrigo Bambu, Mailson, Júnior Santos, Vladimir Tatuí, Diogo Maranhão, Julinho, Gedeil, Alexandro, Luquinha, Madison, Abner.
Coach: Mário Júnior.
