The Potiguar league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. ABC and Palmeira are placed 1st and 7th respectively.
- ABC have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
- ABC have scored more than double the goals of Palmeira.
It's no vacation for neither ABC nor Palmeira as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
ABC form and stats
The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of four straight victories regardless of arena.
A good away victory last time out for ABC, who won 6-1 against Forca e Luz (placed 8th). Nobody expected ABC to beat Forca e Luz in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Globo.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, ABC played a great game against Forca e Luz and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
ABC are traveling soon after this match as the Potiguar match at Potiguar Mossoró awaits in three days.
Palmeira form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Potiguar travels is 0 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats.
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus ASSU that ended 1-1.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Globo was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Forca e Luz in just three days.
It's early days yet, but Palmeira has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Palmeira - ABC 1-2 earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): ABC won eight games, one match ended with a draw and Palmeira has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / fourTop Goalscorers
