Betim form and stats

Betim have played 6 Mineiro 2 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Betim.

The Betim manager and his gang return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Varginha EC. It's uncommon, but the exact result 0-0 has been on "repeat" three league games in a row.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Boa that ended 0-0.

Some goal stats: A review of the 14 most recent league games reveals that 13 of them had goals from both teams.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Democrata SL are coming to town in four days.

Betim are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 6 games.

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.
