Ponte Preta form and stats

Ponte Preta have only played one Paulista A2 game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 8 wins, 7 draws and 4 defeats from 19 matches.

It's back home for Ponte, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating XV de Piracicaba away with the result 2-1. Hatamoto and dos Santos found the net in that victory. It's strange, but the exact score 2-1 has been on "repeat" three times in a row.

Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against São Caetano.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Taubaté are coming to town in three days.

Early season league goal statistics from Ponte Preta's 1 home game: {2 goals}, 1 conceded.

There are 26 state football leagues in Brazil. Because of long distances in Brazil a very competitive football culture developed within each state. Therefore, Brazil remain one of the few countries who still run state championships alongside the national ones. Most of them run from January to May, outside the national season.
