Ferroviário form and stats

Last season their Copa do Nordeste adventure ended in the 3rd qualifying round.

Ferroviário have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Serie C, after 1-0-9 (10 played). The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Copa do Nordeste stats, they have 3 wins, 6 draws and 0 losses both home and away.

Ferroviário play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-4 to Fortaleza. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Fortaleza was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

A loss, in the Copa do Brasil away at Gremio, before that.

The attacking power of Ferroviário when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 10 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Ferroviário's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 18 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head
