It's no vacation for neither Náutico nor Paraná 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.

It's quite the trip for Paraná when visiting Náutico as the cities are 3000 kilometers apart.

Náutico form and stats

6-7-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Náutico so far this season. Ever since the Vitoria game Náutico has been unbeatable here at Itaipava Arena Pernambuco producing four straight wins.

The fans are hoping that Náutico will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Serie B game against Confiança (placed 11th). Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Cuiaba.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie B game versus America Mineiro in only four days. This game is also played here at Itaipava Arena Pernambuco.

Paraná form and stats

There's been little loot from Paraná's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 16 away games in the Serie B. Paraná only have 3 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 3 draws.

There were no winners in Paraná's previous match, a Serie B home game that ended 1-1 vs Botafogo SP (placed 19th). Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Chapecoense's place.

After this away game Paraná return home for a Serie B game against CSA. That game is only four sleeps after this.

The attacking power of Paraná when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 16 league matches away. Paraná struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 28 goals conceded from these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
