After two games we know a little more about the qualities of América RN and ASSU in this fresh Potiguar season. Read our match preview!
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
América RN form and stats
As mentioned below, América RN are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Potiguar games. The América RN fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Arena das Dunas and will expect new points from this game. América RN has played ten games in a row here without a defeat.
A nice win for América RN last time playing, versus Santa Cruz de Natal RN. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Luan and Caxito scoring for the victors. Ahead of that match, América RN won a home game hosting Forca e Luz (2-1).
The manager P. Kobayashi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Real FC in only three days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the América RN at home in the league. 4 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
ASSU form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Potiguar ended in defeat. Last season ASSU had these away match statistics: Played 4; won 0, drew 2 and lost 2.
Danilo, Joedson, Moisés and Djalma scored in ASSU's previous match, the home game against Potiguar Mossoró that ended 4-0. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Palmeira wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
As mentioned above, ASSU was the only team on the pitch versus Potiguar Mossoró in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, ASSU has managed 0 goals and let in 1 from 1 match.
