There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Copa do Nordeste table so far. Here's the Imperatriz - ABC latest:
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Maranhense. This match was also played here at Estádio Frei Epifânio D'Abadia. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, ABC have had more rest.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1700 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Imperatriz form and stats
Imperatriz must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Copa do Nordeste games here at Estádio Frei Epifânio D'Abadia.
The Imperatriz crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Moto Club MA here at Estádio Frei Epifânio D'Abadia in a Maranhense match. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Botafogo PB (1-2).
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Maranhense game versus Sampaio Correa in only three days. This game is also played here at Estádio Frei Epifânio D'Abadia.
Imperatriz are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. 3 goals have been conceded.
ABC form and stats
The Copa do Nordeste season is young and ABC have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.
ABC's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Vitoria that finished 1-1. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Vasco da Gama's place.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from ABC's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. As opposed to that, ABC have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Imperatriz three wins, zero draws and ABC one victory. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.Top Goalscorers
