This is a vital battle in the bottom part of the Cearense 1, with both Uniclinic and Iguatu experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a real "six-pointer" with the team playing at home placed 7th and the away side in 6th place.

Insights:
  • Uniclinic have the most matches under the total-line (3) in Cearense 1
  • Iguatu have the fewest clean sheets (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.

Uniclinic form and stats

Uniclinic have collected 2 points from their Cearense 1 home games so far after 0-2-3.

The last victory here came in the Paragominas match.

An away draw last time out for Uniclinic, facing Ferroviário in a game that ended 1-1.

A 0-0 draw away before that, with Icasa the opponent.

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 Uniclinic have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won one, drawn five and lost zero.

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