National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Rio Branco or Independente PA that keep their silverware dream alive.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Rio Branco form and stats
Last season their Copa Verde adventure ended in the quarter-finals.Rio Branco have collected 12 points from their Serie D home games so far after 3-3-1. It's trouble wherever Rio Branco are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Branco, their manager R. Aragão Cavalcante and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
In their previous game, the manager R. Aragão Cavalcante led his Branco to a defeat in the Serie D match away at Altos. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Arena Acreana. Ahead of that match, Branco lost 0-2 at home to Altos.
Branco has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. On the other hand, Rio Branco have conceded 7 goals.
Independente PA form and stats
Independente PA have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Serie D, after 0-2-5 (7 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.
Two travels in a row for Independente, whose manager S. Dias Neves could celebrate last time after the Copa Verde win against Fast Clube. Prior to that match, a home win 3-2 against Rio Branco in the Serie D.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Independente as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. Independente are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 6 goals in these matches.
