Maracanã have collected 5 points from their Cearense 1 home games so far after 1-2-1.

The Maracanã goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the Cearense 1.

The home fans saw a 0-0 draw versus Crato last time out and are looking for a win here.

In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Uniclinic.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Maracanã as they are travelling to their away game against Ferroviário in the Cearense 1. That match is three days after this one.

Iguatu form and stats

Playing away, Iguatu, who have the fewest clean sheets (2) in Cearense 1, have won 1 game, drawn 0 and suffered 3 defeats in the Cearense 1 this season. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Iguatu have lost on their last two travels.

The supporters enjoyed Iguatu's previous game versus Pacajus (placed 6th), a 1-0 win played at home.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Ferroviário wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

The schedule is very tough for Iguatu now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Cearense 1 game at Uniclinic is waiting in only three days.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Iguatu have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
