União RS form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Gaucho 1 travels is 0 wins, 0 draws and 6 defeats. Bitter travels for União as they have lost six games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Guarany de Bagé match.

The attacking players of União RS have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 252 minutes.

A draw for União RS before that, at their own venue hosting EC São José (0-0).
