It's early days in the Potiguar and both Potiguar Mossoró and Forca e Luz are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It's no vacation for neither Potiguar Mossoró nor Forca e Luz 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.
Potiguar Mossoró form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Potiguar Mossoró's two home games in the Potiguar so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Estádio Leonardo Nogueira.
Potiguar Mossoró manager L. Quadros da Silva and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus ABC (placed 2nd) in the Potiguar. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Globo in a game that was won 2-1.
Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against ABC last time out, but a goal from Val Paraíba completed a comeback to a draw result for Potiguar Mossoró.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Palmeira are coming to town in three days.
Potiguar Mossoró has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Forca e Luz form and stats
The Potiguar season is young and Forca e Luz, who have the most conceded goals (9) away in Potiguar, have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.
Forca e Luz delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Palmeira (placed 6th) in their previous match; a Potiguar game. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Santa Cruz de Natal RN that ended 1-1.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Forca e Luz manager J. Vitoriano de Oliveira as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against ASSU.
Forca e Luz are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 4 away goals from 3 games (in the league). The opposition has been scoring high and low on Forca e Luz's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 9 goals in 3 travels. The Forca e Luz defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 9 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
Last five meetings between the teams: Potiguar Mossoró won 5, Forca e Luz won 0 and 0 draws. 3 games with over 2,5 goals, 2 matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
