ABC form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Potiguar, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from 9 matches. Momentum is building for ABC in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

The supporters enjoyed ABC's previous game versus Santa Cruz de Natal RN (placed 3rd), a Potiguar 1-0 win played at home. A draw for ABC before that, at their own venue hosting Potiguar Mossoró (2-2).

The schedule is very tough for ABC now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa do Nordeste game at Confianca is waiting in only three days.

ABC have the goal stats of 1-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's 3 América RN victories, 1 draw and 6 ABC wins. 6 of these games ended with three goals or more, 4 matches with two goals or less.

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.
