Vera Cruz form and stats

The Pernambucano 1 season is young and Vera Cruz have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Vera are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Prior to that match, the Vera manager Edson Miolo faced defeat when travelling to Santa Cruz and losing 1-4.

A quick return to home after this game, as Vera are hosting Retrô in the Pernambucano 1 only three days away.

Vera have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. The Vera defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 9 goals in their away games.
