Náutico form and stats

There's been little loot from Náutico's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 16 away games in the Serie B. Náutico only have 2 wins to counter their 12 defeats and 2 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Náutico have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road.

The followers enjoyed Náutico's previous game versus Tombense (placed 12th), a 4-3 win played at home. That victory felt sweet as this club had gone three league games without winning. As you can tell from the result, the match against Tombense was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? Midfield player Everton was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.12/10. Everton scored one goal, served one assist and hit two key passes.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sport Recife wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Goals are few and far between in Náutico's away league games. Only {7 goals} from 16 travels. Náutico struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 29 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head
