There is optimism in Nacional AM so far this season, with the 2nd place in the Amazonense table and eagerly waiting for Fast Clube (who are placed 8th).

Insights:
  • Nacional AM have the fewest conceded goals (2) in Amazonense
  • Nacional AM have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Fast Clube have scored away.

This is a local derby, usually meaning extra nervousness and importance.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

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.
