It's early days in the Carioca 2 and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Nova Cidade form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Nova Cidade's two home games in the Carioca 2 so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estádio Joaquim de Almeida Flores.
A good away victory last time out for Nova Cidade, who won 3-2 against Tigres do Brasil. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Serra Macaense.
There will be little rest for Nova Cidade after this match as they are travelling to Barra da Tijuca for a Carioca 2 game in only three days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Nova Cidade at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Campos AA form and stats
It's not happening yet for Campos AA on their Carioca 2 travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Campos AA, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The Barra da Tijuca game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Campos AA are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
The manager was unhappy after their last game, a Carioca 2 match played at their home ground Estádio Joaquim de Almeida Flores. Campos AA suffered a 0-3 loss to América RJ. A 0-5 defeat away at Artsul before that.
A quick return to home after this game, as Campos AA are hosting Audax Rio in the Carioca 2 only three days away.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Campos AA has managed 0 goals and let in 6 from 2 matches.
