Aruko Sports form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Paranaense 2 for Aruko Sports with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.

Sports go into this game after a win, the home game against Prudentópolis that ended 2-1.

Before that, Aruko Sports secured a home win against Verê with the score 4-0.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sports manager as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Toledo Brazil.

The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Aruko Sports have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
