Nacional PR are welcoming Portuguesa RJ for another important game after their 0-2 result against Rolandia.
Nacional have less rest than Portuguesa RJ in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Paranaense 2 game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Rolandia, so at least Nacional are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Nacional PR form and stats
0-1-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie D numbers at home for Nacional PR, who have the fewest scored goals (4) at home in Serie D, so far this season. All in all it has been a very rough period for Nacional who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 14 attempts. Their previous win was against Toledo Brazil, 40 days ago. With eight home Serie D games in a row without a win, the Nacional PR fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Prudentopolis game long ago, can be stopped today.
João Pedro was the last player to score a league goal for Nacional and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Nacional PR haven't scored in 195 minutes.
Nacional PR are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Rolandia. Preceding that game was the away draw at Bangu that finished 0-0.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Nacional PR, as the Paranaense 2 home game vs AA Batel is only three days away.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Nacional here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 5 games). Nacional are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (12 from 5 played).
Portuguesa RJ form and stats
