Forca e Luz form and stats

Forca e Luz, who have the most conceded goals (14) in Potiguar, have played 4 Potiguar games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). With Forca e Luz having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager J. Rodrigues.

The Forca e Luz fans got no joy from their last match, a Potiguar game also here at Estádio Maria Lamas Farache: A 3-4 defeat against Potiguar Mossoro (placed 4th). As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Palmeira.

Forca are traveling soon after this match as the Potiguar match at Globo awaits in three days.

A decent goal production from Forca e Luz in their home games so far, with 6 goals from 4 league matches. Forca e Luz's defense is seriously deficient as 14 goals have been conceded in these matches.
