National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Crato or Caucaia that keep their silverware dream alive.
Crato form and stats
With Crato having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager P. de Siqueira Manta.
Crato drew their last game, 3-3 away at Caucaia (placed 2nd). A goal frenzy last time out for Crato, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Caucaia. Fun stuff to watch! Carlos could bring home the match ball after scoring three goals against Caucaia, but was annoyed the match ended without a win (3-3).
Preceding that match was the home Cearense 1 game against Pacajus that was lost 1-2.Caucaia form and stats
Last season their Copa Fares Lopes adventure ended in the semi-finals against Ferroviario.There's been little loot from Caucaia's travels as they have only collected 0 points from 7 away games in the Serie D. Caucaia only have 0 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 0 draws. Caucaia are still without points from their Serie D away games. 7 games, 7 defeats. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Caucaia have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Pacajus game.
Two away games in a row for Caucaia, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-5 versus Campinense in the Serie D. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Campinense was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Central.Caucaia find the net regularly in their away games. 7 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. Caucaia can't defend away. 35 goals have been scored by the opposition in 7 matches, an average of more than three per game.
