The season is still fairly new and the Pernambucano 1 table has to be read with caution. So far Afogados find themselves in 3rd position and Santa Cruz are placed 1st.
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.
Afogados form and stats
Afogados, who have the most scored goals (11) in Pernambucano 1, must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Pernambucano 1 games here at Estádio Valdemar Viana de Araújo. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Afogados. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Afogados's last game was hosting Atlético Acreano and winning 3-0. Preceding that game was the away draw at Nautico that finished 1-1.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (6 in 3 games), Afogados's attacking play is working. Afogados have conceded 5 from these games.
Santa Cruz form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Pernambucano 1, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 0 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats from 2 matches. Santa Cruz seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Santa Cruz had fun at their own home (Estádio Valdemar Viana de Araújo) last time out, beating ABC 1-0. Toty scored. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Salgueiro.
Late drama in the previous game, when Toty scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time to defeat ABC.
Santa Cruz have the goal stats of 2-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Last three meetings between the teams: Afogados won zero, Santa Cruz won two and one draw. one game with over 2,5 goals, two matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
