- Competition: Brasileiro - Serie B
- Date: Tuesday, 15th, July 2025
- Kickoff: 23:30 UK / 00:30 CEST
- Venue: Arena Pantanal (Cuiaba)
Hoping to edge closer to the promotion spots, Cuiaba will host bottom-side Amazonas at Arena Pantanal on Wednesday in Round 16 of the Brasileiro Serie B.
Although Cuiaba were firmly occupying promotion-chasing spots just a month ago, a dramatic dip in form has seen them tumble down to ninth place in the standings, but a narrow two-point gap from the fourth-placed side keeps them well within reach of the prized positions.
Amazonas had shown some encouraging signs of revival recently, before being brought crashing back down by promotion-chasing Atletico-PR in a narrow defeat that left them rooted to the foot of the table, although they remain just three points adrift of safety.
Cuiaba vs Amazonas Betting Tips : CUIABA TO WIN
Even if morale isn’t sky-high right now, Cuiaba still appear well-placed to take control of this clash, as they not only have the backing of their own crowd but also the hunger to snap out of their slump and collect all three points. From their last six home fixtures, Dourado have celebrated victory on four occasions, which clearly indicates that their performances in front of the home crowd will be their primary source of points this season, and we expect them to respond strongly to their current dry four-game winless run (D1 L3). Even though Amazonas have shown signs of life and injected some hope into their survival bid, their persistent struggles away from Manaus remain a glaring concern, as they’ve collected only two points from seven away outings in Serie B and came back empty-handed from five of those journeys. All things considered, this shapes up as the perfect window for Cuiaba to return to winning ways, as we anticipate they will fully capitalize on their home-field strength and the travel-induced struggles of Amazonas to collect the maximum haul.
Cuiaba team news
Cuiaba will be without both Alan Empereur and Calebe Costa, as the pair have exceeded the yellow card limit and are now suspended for one match.
Head coach Guto Ferreira is expected to make just one change to the side that earned a draw against Remo, with Nathan stepping in at right-back for the injured Mateusinho.

Amazonas team news
Despite coming off the bench, Luan Silva didn’t take long to receive a straight red card in his team’s 1-0 loss to Atletico-PR last time out, and now faces a one or two-match suspension.
Thomas Luciano’s availability will be assessed before the trip to Mato Grosso after he was forced off in the 39th minute last week with an apparent injury, and if he’s ruled out, Carlos Akapo is expected to fill in at left-back.
