It's still early in the Carioca 2 season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Nova Cidade - Rio São Paulo preview!
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
Nova Cidade have less points than they have played home games in the Carioca 2 so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 1 point. Cidade has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager and the players.
Cidade faced defeat in their previous match, away at Duque de Caxias (0-1). Preceding that match was the home game against Olaria that was lost 2-3.
The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to CFRJ / Marica in only three days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Nova Cidade at home in the league. 3 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
