In total they scored 3 and conceded 13 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 0 - drew 0 and lost 3 with 1/9 goals scored/conceded. A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Paranaense 2, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 0 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats from 3 matches.

Iguaçu play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Apucarana (placed 8th).

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.
