Bangu form and stats

Three Carioca Serie A home games done for Bangu, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches. Bangu has four consecutive draws when playing at home, an interesting stat.

Bangu are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 450 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Oliveira).

Bangu lost their last game at Nova Iguaçu (placed 11th) after a 0-1 scoreline.

Heartbreak before that as Bangu lost 0-2 at Vasco da Gama's place.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Bangu have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won two, drawn six and lost one.

Bangu has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 3 games. As for guarding their own goal, Bangu have only let in 1 goal at home.

Audax Rio form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Carioca Serie A travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats.

Audax Rio have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 199 minutes ago. Sanches was the goal scorer.

Audax Rio might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Vasco da Gama proved too strong as Audax Rio slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio Arthur Sendas.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Volta Redonda wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Audax playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were three Audax Rio wins, zero draws and two defeats.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Audax Rio's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 4 matches. In the opposite end, Audax Rio have conceded 6 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Last two meetings involving these teams: Bangu won zero, Audax Rio were winners in zero and we saw two draws. zero games with more than 2,5 goals, two matches with less than 2,5 goals.
