Vera Cruz form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Vera Cruz's two home games in the Pernambucano 1 so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Itaipava Arena Pernambuco.

Vera Cruz faced defeat in their previous match, away at Afogados (1-2). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Salgueiro in a game that was won 2-0.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Pernambucano 1 game versus Central in only four days. This game is also played here at Itaipava Arena Pernambuco.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Vera Cruz at home in the league. 3 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Retrô form and stats

Things could have gone better for Retrô in their Pernambucano 1 away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

Retrô lost away at Salgueiro (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that, the 1-4 home loss versus Nautico.

After this away game Retrô return home for a Pernambucano 1 game against Sport Recife. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Retrô has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 5 goals from 3 games. Retrô have conceded 3 goals in these away matches.
