Away Form Insights: Struggling Teams in Brasileirão Standings
Poor away performance often foreshadows difficulties throughout the long league season. Notably, only one of the eight teams that have secured less than 30% of available points in away matches is not facing relegation risks. Furthermore, only two teams have managed to collect more than 50% of points while playing away.
Having recently confirmed the departure of Fernando Seabra, Coritiba stands out as an “outlier,” boasting the seventh-best away record in the league despite grappling with the 17th-best home record, accumulating just 20 points. Concern grows for Coritiba as they remain close to the relegation zone.
Until last Monday, Grêmio found themselves among the teams without an away victory, but they have since moved off that list.
