Playing at their own ground is safe and nice for Central, but ABC are fully intent and able to win. How will it end?
- Central have the fewest scored goals (6) in Serie D
- ABC have the fewest conceded goals (7) in Serie D
The visiting ABC played their last game only three days ago, a Copa do Brasil match. That game was also an away game, at Flamengo. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Central form and stats
Central have played three Serie D home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Central, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Central travelled for their previous game, a trip to Uniclinic that ended 0-0.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Uniclinic (1-3).The Central fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Central have conceded 6 goals in these home games, a significant number.
ABC form and stats
The visitors, who have the fewest conceded goals (7) in Serie D, are W3-D0-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Serie D.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. ABC goalkeeper Wellington de Lima Gomes is eager to challenge this, with his 270 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
ABC lost away at Flamengo (0-6) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Midfielder Diego Valderrama was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 6.85. Valderrama dribled passed the opponent 5 of 5 times. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Flamengo was particularly ugly (0-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.
That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Campinense in the Serie D.A new game in only four days for ABC, the Copa do Brasil home match versus Flamengo. Busy days.
The travelling fans enjoy ABC's attacking play in away games, having scored 7 goals in 4 league matches away. ABC have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
