Audax Rio open their doors to Bangu for another absorbing Carioca Serie A game here at Estádio Jair Carneiro Toscano de Brito.

Insights:
  • Audax Rio have the most dropped points from leading position (5) in Carioca Serie A
  • Bangu haven’t played a single 0-0 game.

Bangu could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Carioca Serie A game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Nova Iguaçu, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Bangu.

Audax Rio form and stats

Audax Rio have less points than they have played home games in the Carioca Serie A so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 2 points.

Audax drew their last game, also a home match. Nova Iguaçu (placed 9th) was the opponent, 1-1 the score. A painful moment in the game against Nova Iguaçu was the missed penalty kick from Leite in the 42nd minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Volta Redonda (2-3).

There will be little rest for Audax Rio after this match as they are travelling to Fluminense for a Carioca Serie A game in only four days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Audax Rio at home in the league. 2 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Bangu form and stats

Things could have gone better for Bangu in their Carioca Serie A away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

Bangu are travelling again after losing away to Nova Iguaçu in their previous match (0-1). That defeat was their first after four consecutive league matches winning points.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Flamengo.

A quick return to home after this game, as Bangu are hosting Madureira in the Carioca Serie A only four days away.

It's early days yet, but Bangu has scored 3 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (3 games).

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head numbers (for the previous three meetings): Audax Rio won zero games, two matches ended with a tie and Bangu managed one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: zero / three.

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.
