With their 6 point advantage in the league table, Vitória fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Ríver.
It's no vacation for neither Vitória nor Ríver as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as Ríver have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Vitória form and stats
Vitória have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Copa do Nordeste. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
Vitória are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Ceará. Preceding that game was the away draw at ABC that finished 1-1.
Vitória aren't scoring a lot here at Estádio Octávio Mangabeira in the league, with only 2 goals from 3 games. As for guarding their own goal, Vitória have only let in 1 goal at home.
Ríver form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Copa do Nordeste for Ríver with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Ríver's last three away games as they have all been lost. Recent form does not give Ríver much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Vitória will be a tough nut to crack.
The attacking players of Ríver have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 309 minutes.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Piauiense home defeat versus Picos with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Ríver manager M. Vilar e Lima Lopes faced defeat when travelling to Altos and losing 0-1.
A quick return to home after this game, as Ríver are hosting Parnahyba in the Piauiense only three days away.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Ríver's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. 4 goals have been conceded by Ríver in these games.
Head 2 Head
Last two meetings between the teams: Vitória won two, Ríver won zero and zero draws. one game with over 2,5 goals, one match with two goals or less.Vitória missing players
