Avenida form and stats

Avenida's first Gaucho 2 home game here at Estádio dos Plátanos ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 3 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats from 3 matches.

Avenida drew their last game, 3-3 away at São Paulo RS (placed 6th). A goal frenzy last time out for Avenida, with a total of 6 goals in the match against São Paulo RS. Fun stuff to watch!

Ahead of that match, Avenida lost 0-1 at home to Lajeadense.

This is expected to be a close game, with Avenida perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Avenida as a small favourite), we find nine games. Avenida has won three of these, drawn five and lost one.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Avenida as they have a new game in only three days, a Gaucho 2 match thankfully also at home. Guarani RS are visiting.

Early season league goal statistics from Avenida's 1 home game: 0 goals, 1 conceded.

Pelotas form and stats

One match played away so far in the Gaucho 2 for Pelotas and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 1 win, 4 draws and 2 losses from 7 games. One point away has become something of a habit for Pelotas who have played out draws in their last three away games.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Inter Santa Maria (placed 4th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 1-1.

Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against São Paulo RS.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Pelotas in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Pelotas, two draws and three defeats.

After this away game Pelotas return home for a Gaucho 2 game against Santa Cruz RS. That game is only four sleeps after this.

It's early days yet, but Pelotas has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the previous ten meetings involving these two participants are: three wins for Avenida, three draws and four wins for Pelotas. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.

There are 26 state football leagues in Brazil. Because of long distances in Brazil a very competitive football culture developed within each state. Therefore, Brazil remain one of the few countries who still run state championships alongside the national ones. Most of them run from January to May, outside the national season.
