Vera Cruz form and stats

0 victories, 0 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Vera Cruz have to build on here at Estádio Luiz José de Lacerda in the Pernambucano 1. The Vera manager Lisboa might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

It's back home for Vera Cruz, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Sete de Setembro PE away with the result 3-1. Jailton found the net in that victory.

Preceding that match was the home game against Náutico that was lost 1-2.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Vera Cruz as they are travelling to their away game against Santa Cruz in the Pernambucano 1. That match is three days after this one.

Vera Cruz has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 4 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Íbis form and stats

No Pernambucano 1 points yet away for Íbis, from their first 3 matches. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Íbis are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Íbis are looking to quickly end their 223 minutes long goal drought in the Pernambucano 1.

The manager Júnior was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue. Íbis suffered a 0-1 loss to Sete de Setembro PE (placed 10th).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Caruaru City wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

The Íbis manager Júnior has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.

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.
