Noroeste form and stats

When playing at home in the Paulista A2, Noroeste have managed 3 wins, 0 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 5 games. There’s a good atmosphere here at Estádio Dr. Alfredo de Castilho after three straight home wins.

A nice win for Noroeste last time playing, versus Sao Caetano. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Silva and e Silva scoring for the victors. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Egert when e Silva scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 76th minute.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Comercial and winning 2-0.

Noroeste are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games. On the other hand, Noroeste have conceded 7 goals.

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.
