Íbis form and stats

It's not happening yet for Íbis on their Pernambucano 1 travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Íbis has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

There might be some fixture complaints from Íbis as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 0-3 against Santa Cruz.

That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Salgueiro.

0 goals so far away for Íbis, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 6. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

This isn't the first time these two teams meet this season, as the statistics show this recent match: Santa - Íbis 3-0.

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.
