Resende form and stats

Only two Carioca Serie A home games for Resende so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

No payout for Resende in their previous match, an away game at Volta Redonda that ended in defeat 1-5. As you see from the result above, Resende suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Ahead of that match, Resende won a home game hosting Boavista (2-1).

The manager Sargentim will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Vasco da Gama in only four days.

Early season league goal statistics from Resende's 2 home games: {2 goals}, 3 conceded.

Portuguesa RJ form and stats

0 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Portuguesa RJ playing as the away team in the Carioca Serie A this season.

Portuguesa RJ have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 183 minutes ago. Caríus was the goal scorer.

Portuguesa failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Vasco da Gama (placed 6th) that ended with defeat 0-2.

A loss against Bangu was the result prior to that, in a home game.

The schedule is very tough for Portuguesa RJ now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Carioca Serie A game at Madureira is waiting in only four days.

It's early days yet, but Portuguesa RJ has scored 1 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the last nine meetings between these two squads are: three wins for Resende, three draws and three wins for Portuguesa RJ. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: six games.

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.
