Pacatuba form and stats

0 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Pacatuba, who have the fewest scored goals (2) in Cearense 2, have to build on here at Estadio Municipal João Ronaldo in the Cearense 2. It's trouble wherever Pacatuba are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

The fans are hoping that Pacatuba will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Cearense 2 game against Tiradentes CE (placed 5th).

Heartbreak before that as Pacatuba lost 0-3 at Cariri's place.

Pacatuba have scored 0 goals here in 4 league matches, a depressing statistic. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Pacatuba have allowed the opposition to score 11 goals here at Estadio Municipal João Ronaldo.

Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Maracanã.
