Only the second game in the Serie D for these teams and it's all to play for here at Estádio Luiz José de Lacerda as Central welcomes Caucaia. Check out this preview!
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Central form and stats
Last season, Central's league statistics were 0 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, resulting in a 4th position in the Pernambucano 1. Over these three matches they scored 1 goal and conceded 4. Playing at home last season Central managed 0-1-1 (win-draw-lost) with 0 goals and 2 conceded.
Central faced defeat in their previous match, away at America RN (0-1).
Preceding that match was the home Pernambucano 1 game against Academica Vitoria that was lost 0-2.Caucaia form and stats
Let's have a look at how Caucaia performed last season in the Cearense 1: They landed a 6th position in the league table after playing out 1 victory, 1 draw and 5 defeats. In total they scored 11 and conceded 25 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 0 and lost 3 with 7/10 goals scored/conceded. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Caucaia are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Caucaia's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Campinense that finished 3-3. As you can tell from the result, the match against Campinense was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
A 3-3 draw was the result before that, hosting Crato in the Cearense 1.Head 2 Head
