Ferroviário fights ABC in Serie C battle

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Ferroviário form and stats

The story so far for Ferroviário at their home stadium (Estádio Municipal Presidente Getúlio Vargas) is 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Ferroviário has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Marcelo Vilar and the players. The Ferroviário manager Marcelo Vilar might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
