Three points is the only outcome that will suffice for the Ferroviário regulars in this Estádio Vila Olímpica Elzir Cabral battle with Iguatu, as they enjoy a healthy lead on them in the Cearense 1 table.

Insights:
  • Ferroviário have the most scored goals (16) in Cearense 1
  • Iguatu have the most matches over the total-line (2) in Cearense 1

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Iguatu have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 8-16-13 (win-draw-loss) from 37 matches.

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.
