Cruzeiro - Brazilian Serie A
Nautico v Cruzeiro k.o. Thursday 19th July 2007, 01:45Cruzeiro Can K.O. Struggling Nautico
It's been a tough baptism for Nautico since winning promotion to Brazilian Serie A, with just one victory from 11 league games to date. That one win was a notable 1:0 defeat of Sao Paulo, but it was the second game of the campaign.
By contrast, Cruzeiro seem to be recovering after a poor start to the season, with for wins in their last six matches.
Cruzeiro main weakness is at the back, where they have the most porous defence in the league to date. However, with strikers Roni, Guilherme and Araujo all among the goals this term, they should be able to make the most of a Nautico rearguard that is almost as poor as their own.
