Afogados form and stats

The story so far in the Pernambucano 1 for Afogados at their home stadium (Estádio Valdemar Viana de Araújo) is 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats. When Afogados hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Afogados, Belo Jardim, Caruaru City and Santa Cruz), they have won 1 of 2 matches!

Afogados faced defeat in their previous match, away at Petrolina (2-4). A goal frenzy last time out for Afogados, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Petrolina. Fun stuff to watch!

Before that, Afogados drew at home versus Maguary PE.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Afogados have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 3 and lost 0.

Low-scoring affair? In this club's last 10 league games, 8 have had zero, one or two goals.

Afogados have scored {4 league goals} here from 5 matches, not a lot. Afogados has at home met teams with this table position (low), two times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.

Íbis form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Pernambucano 1 travels is 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Íbis's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Home advantage was not enough for Íbis in their previous game as they lost hosting Nautico, 0-4. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Nautico was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Porto wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Íbis are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat. From a total of 4 matches.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Íbis manager da Silva as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Santa Cruz.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Íbis as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. The Íbis manager da Silva has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head statistics (for the prior two meetings): Afogados won zero games, two matches ended with a draw and Íbis got zero wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: zero / two.
