Forca e Luz form and stats

Forca e Luz have played three Potiguar home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Forca are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Estádio Maria Lamas Farache, having lost their two previous games here.

It's back home for Forca e Luz, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Palmeira away with the result 1-0.

Before that game, the home loss against Santa Cruz de Natal RN with the scoreline 0-2.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Forca have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won two, drawn two and lost one.

The Forca fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Forca's defense is seriously deficient as 10 goals have been conceded in these matches.

Potiguar Mossoró form and stats

No Potiguar points yet away for Potiguar Mossoró, from their first 2 matches. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Potiguar's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Impressive finishing secured the home win 1-0 against ABC in their previous game.

A 1-4 defeat away at Globo before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Potiguar Mossoró playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were zero Potiguar wins, zero draws and two defeats.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Potiguar trip to Palmeira.

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.
