Forca e Luz hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 5 points and a 6th position in the Potiguar table. Visiting ASSU holds 4th place with 6 pts.
It's no vacation for neither Forca nor ASSU 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.

ASSU form and stats
The Potiguar season is young and ASSU have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 2 draws and 1 defeat so far.
ASSU lost away at ABC (0-5) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that, the 2-3 home loss versus Globo.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against ABC was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
ASSU are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. The ASSU manager J. de Farias Fernandes Tavora has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
