Artsul form and stats

Artsul shared the glory with Sampaio Corrêa RJ in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Artsul as they have a new game in only four days, a Carioca 2 match thankfully also at home. São Gonçalo EC RJ are visiting.

Last season, Artsul's league statistics were 6 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses, resulting in a 1st position in the Carioca 2. Over these nine matches they scored 19 goals and conceded 6. Playing at home last season Artsul managed 3-1-0 (win-draw-lost) with 11 goals and 1 conceded.

Goytacaz form and stats

There were no winners in Goytacaz's previous match, a Carioca 2 home game that ended 1-1 vs São Gonçalo EC RJ (placed 5th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Friburguense wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Goytacaz are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, four draws and three defeats. From a total of seven matches.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Angra dos Reis in just three days.

In total they scored 14 and conceded 7 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 2 and lost 2 with 4/6 goals scored/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.
