Match analysis
Superior projects Cuiaba's home game with Athletic Club on 8 September to finish 1-1, with 1-0 as the alternative score. Cuiaba are unbeaten in five games, three wins and two draws, and have won two of the last three meetings between these sides, while Athletic Club have been the more turbulent side, including back-to-back defeats by an aggregate of 1-6.
Cuiaba have not lost in five, Athletic Club have lost three
Cuiaba's last five have brought three wins and two draws, with two of those results shutting out the opponent. Athletic Club's own run includes a 1-4 and a 1-2 defeat back to back, though they have since recovered with a 3-1 and a 2-0 win, form that is trending up rather than settled.
Cuiaba have never lost this fixture in three meetings
The last three meetings between these sides have gone two wins and a draw for Cuiaba, most recently a 0-0 in May. That record, combined with Cuiaba's own average of 1.6 goals a game to Athletic Club's 1.4, is the basis for the model's projected 1-1 rather than a home win.
Athletic Club's recent recovery is what breaks the draw projection
Athletic Club have won two of their last three, including a 3-1, after opening this run with back-to-back heavy defeats. If that recovery form carries into this trip rather than the version of Athletic Club that shipped six goals in two games, the scoreline projection does not hold, and a home defeat becomes the more live outcome.
