The Cearense 1 league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Barbalha and Ferroviário are placed 4th and 3rd respectively.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Cearense 1.
Barbalha form and stats
When playing at home in the Cearense 1, Barbalha have managed 1 win, 0 draws and suffered 0 defeats from 1 games. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Estádio Antônio Lírio Callou.
Barbalha's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-3 versus Operario PR. Previous to that game, a Cearense 1 home match hosting Caucaia in a game that was won 2-1.
Early season league goal statistics from Barbalha's 1 home game: 2 goals, 1 conceded.
Ferroviário form and stats
Playing away, Ferroviário have won 0 games, drawn 1 and suffered 0 defeats in the Cearense 1 this season. One point away has become something of a habit for Ferroviário who have played out draws in their last three away games.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Cearense 1 home defeat versus Uniclinic with 2-4 on the scoreboard. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Guarany de Sobral.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Uniclinic was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
It's early days yet, but Ferroviário has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
The two sides played each other earlier this season: Ferroviário - Barbalha 1-0. Head-2-head stats last seven meetings: one - one - five (Barbalha wins - draws - Ferroviário wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
