Sao Bernardo welcome CRB to Estadio Primeiro de Maio in a fixture that pits a mid-table home side against a club chasing a playoff spot. Sao Bernardo sit 12th with 34 points from 25 games, while CRB occupy 3rd place with 43 points from 26 outings. Despite the gap on the table, bookmakers lean slightly toward the hosts, 40% to 33%, a quirk explained by Sao Bernardo’s tight home defense and CRB’s habit of leaking goals away from their own ground.
Pedro Vitor Ferreira da Silva has been Sao Bernardo’s sharpest attacking weapon, firing 9 shots and contributing a goal and an assist across his last 5 appearances, more shot volume than any teammate. For CRB, Mikael stands out with a goal and two assists in the same span, giving the visitors a direct creative outlet going forward.
The sharpest stat from recent form: CRB have launched 119 shots across their last five matches, more than double Sao Bernardo’s 55, yet both sides have combined for only 14 goals in that period. That gap points to wasteful finishing on both sides, something our team expects to continue here.

Sao Bernardo vs CRB prediction
We predict a narrow win for Sao Bernardo. The hosts have kept a clean sheet in four of their last five matches, conceding only against Londrina PR, and that defensive consistency matters against a CRB side that has shipped goals in four of its own last five outings. Backing the host at odds near 2.34 offers fair value given a market that already tilts in their favor, 40% to 33%, and the underlying defensive numbers support that lean further.
Style-wise, the two sides contrast sharply. CRB complete passes at roughly 86% accuracy and average close to 24 shots per game in this sample, a tempo built around possession and volume. Sao Bernardo sit lower on passing accuracy, around 78%, but foul more often, 61 fouls across five games against CRB’s 48, picking up 9 yellow cards to CRB’s 7. That physical edge, combined with home comfort, should blunt CRB’s passing game and keep the contest tight rather than open.

Team Analysis
Sao Bernardo’s last five results read draw, win, win, loss, win, a run that shows resilience after the setback against Londrina PR. Their most recent outing ended 0-0 against Novorizontino, a game where the hosts controlled the defensive side of the pitch but struggled to create clear chances, a pattern that fits their modest 55 shots across the sample.
CRB’s recent sequence went win, loss, win, loss, win, reflecting inconsistency on the road despite their strong league position. Their last match was a comfortable 3-0 win over Cuiaba, built on the kind of high shot volume, 119 across five games, that has defined their attack this season, though that same game also underlined their occasional defensive fragility away from home.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Sao Bernardo the favourite
- Moneyline Sao Bernardo 2.34 | CRB 2.86
- Draw 3.30
The market prices Sao Bernardo as a marginal favorite despite sitting nine places below CRB on the table, a gap that narrows once home advantage and defensive form enter the picture. Odds around 2.34 for the hosts imply close to 43% probability, slightly above the bookmaker’s own 40% estimate, which suggests a touch of value on the home side rather than the draw or the away win.
Possible Starting Lineups
Sao Bernardo possible starting eleven
- GK: Alex Alves
- DF: Mário Sérgio Valerio, Pará, Jemerson
- MF: Romisson, Foguinho, Marcão Silva, Lucas Fernandes
- FW: Pedro Vitor Ferreira da Silva, Felipe Garcia, Pedro Gabriel Pereira Lopes
Vinícius Bergantin’s side has rotated around a core of five-game regulars, with Romisson dropping into a deeper midfield role to shield the back line in the 4-1-4-1 setup. Pedro Vitor Ferreira da Silva leads the line’s output with 9 shots and a goal-and-assist return, making him the player most likely to trouble CRB’s defense.
CRB possible starting eleven
- GK: Vitor Caetano
- DF: Diogo Hereda da Silva, Fabio Alemão, Matheus Simonete Bressanelli, Reverson Paiva
- MF: Pedro Castro, Daniel Sampaio Simões
- FW: Dadá Belmonte, Mikael, Vinicius Barata, Thiago Fernandes Rodrigues
Fábio Matias leans on a 4-2-3-1 built around Pedro Castro’s ball-winning in midfield and a front line stacked with Dadá Belmonte, Mikael and Vinicius Barata rotating behind Thiago Fernandes Rodrigues. Mikael’s direct involvement in three goals over five games makes him the key man to watch for the visitors.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Our punters team sides with Sao Bernardo here, backing the hosts on the strength of their clean-sheet record and CRB’s tendency to concede on the road. The shot numbers favor CRB on paper, but conversion has been poor for both clubs, which points toward a low-scoring result rather than an open shootout. We predict Sao Bernardo to edge this one, perhaps by a single goal, with the corner count and foul tally both running high given the contrasting styles on show.
