The season is still fairly new and the Copa do Nordeste table has to be read with caution. So far Ríver find themselves in 7th position and Ceará are placed 7th.
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.
Ríver form and stats
Only two Copa do Nordeste home games for Ríver so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 219 minutes without scoring a league goal. R. Romario was the last player to find the net.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Ríver, who played 0-0 against Flamengo PI. That match was also played at this venue (Estádio Municipal Lindolfo Monteiro). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Copa do Brasil home game that ended 1-1 versus America RN (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties).
At Estádio Municipal Lindolfo Monteiro, Ríver has the goal stats of 5-4 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Ceará form and stats
Ceará are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Copa do Nordeste, having played 2 games and collected 2 points (0 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses). In general it has been a productive period now for Ceará as they haven't lost any of their last ten games.
Ceará delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Guarany de Sobral in their previous match; a Cearense 1 game. A draw for Ceará before that, at their own venue hosting Botafogo PB (2-2).
It's early days yet, but Ceará has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
