The season is still fairly new and the Potiguar table has to be read with caution. So far Forca e Luz find themselves in 6th position and ASSU are placed 4th.
Forca e Luz form and stats
Overall Potiguar stats at home this season for Forca e Luz, who have the most conceded goals (11) at home in Potiguar, are 1-1-2 (wins-draw-losses).
A nice win for Forca last time playing, versus Potiguar Mossoró. That was also a home game and the match ended 5-1 with Diego Viana, Gleydson (2) and Jean Carlos (2) scoring for the victors. 1-1 away at Palmeira before that.
As mentioned above, Forca e Luz "killed" Potiguar Mossoró in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
The manager Jose Nilson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Globo in only three days.
The Forca fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 6 goals in 4 league matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Forca having conceded 11 goals here at Estádio Maria Lamas Farache so far.
ASSU form and stats
ASSU are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Potiguar, having played 2 games and collected 2 points (0 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses). It's three draws from ASSU's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
ASSU failed to get anything from their last game, a Potiguar home match vs Globo (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 2-3. Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Santa Cruz de Natal RN.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the ASSU manager J. de Farias Fernandes Tavora as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against ABC.
It's early days yet, but ASSU has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
