ABC form and stats
It's the first season at a new level for ABC as they were promoted from Serie C last season. Happy days that were secured through 8 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses from 19 games. The team scored 12 goals at home last season and conceded 3. It will be interesting to see how they perform at this level.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Fortaleza are coming to town in three days.
Globo form and stats

In total they scored 16 and conceded {17 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 3 and lost 3 with 5/10 goals scored/conceded.
