Only a few games have been played in the Copa do Nordeste so far, with Imperatriz placed 6th and Ríver sitting in the 6th position.

Ríver could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Piauiense game only three sleeps ago.

Imperatriz form and stats

Only two Copa do Nordeste home games for Imperatriz so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

Imperatriz's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Fortaleza. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Vitoria that ended 0-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Imperatriz have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn three and lost zero.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Imperatriz at home in the league. 3 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Ríver form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Copa do Nordeste for Ríver with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Piauiense home defeat versus 4 de Julho with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A 0-2 defeat away at Confiança before that.

Ríver are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, one draw and three defeats. From a total of four matches.

The schedule is very tough for Ríver now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Piauiense game at Altos is waiting in only four days.

1 goal so far away for Ríver, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

As for the last three games between these two teams, there's zero Imperatriz victories, two draws and one Ríver win. Over/under statistics; one of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.

There are 26 state football leagues in Brazil. Because of long distances in Brazil a very competitive football culture developed within each state. Therefore, Brazil remain one of the few countries who still run state championships alongside the national ones. Most of them run from January to May, outside the national season.
