The numbers are mercilessly pointing in one direction. • Cruzeiro's home record: 7 matches – 6 wins, 1 draw, 14–4 goal difference, 4/7 clean sheets. • Juventude away: 5 matches – 0 points, 1–17 goal difference, only 0.28 xG/match. • Juventude's total away shooting quality: 1.4 xG in total – this is less than Cruzeiro's average in one home match (1.55 xG). • Kaio Jorge (Cruzeiro): 12 goals in 13 league matches, 0.75 xG/90, 4.1 shots/90; the most impressive striker in the league. • Juventude defense: 24 goals conceded in 12 matches (2.0 goals/match), 3.4 goals conceded/match away, 21.1 xGA – the worst in the field. • The only factor weakening Cruzeiro is Cássio's suspension, but with Léo Aragão, the team only conceded 1 goal in 2/2 matches (0.50 GA/90).
