It's a fresh Paraibano campaign and Auto Esporte are yearning to get started here at Estádio José Américo de Almeida Filho. Sousa are coming to visit and this should be a gripping season premiere.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Auto Esporte form and stats
Last season, Auto Esporte's league stats were 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, leading to 3rd spot in the Paraibano. Over these six matches they scored 5 goals and conceded 4. Appearing as the host team in the previous season Auto Esporte produced 1-2-0 (win-draw-lost) with 4 goals and 2 conceded.
The manager Maia will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Atletico Cajazeirense in only four days.
Sousa form and stats
A job perfectly done for Sousa last season as they secured promotion from Serie D. With a grand total of 4 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 0 were in away matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sousa manager Ferreira as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Sport Recife.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - four - four (Esporte wins - draws - Sousa wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.Auto Esporte missing players
