Struggling Palmas will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Atlético Alagoinhas in the upcoming league round. It’s 6th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
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.
Atlético Alagoinhas have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Palmas form and stats
There have been more unhappy faces than points at this arena so far this season, with Palmas yet to win or draw a Serie D game here. The sad story at Estádio Municipal Nílton Santos is: Palmas played 5 games, lost 5 games. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in eleven attempts. It's been an uphill battle for Palmas in their home games for quite some time now, as five matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Capital game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
Felipe Boro was the last player to score a league goal for Palmas and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Palmas haven't scored in 260 minutes.
The fans are hoping that Palmas will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-5 away loss in the Serie D game against Bahia de Feira (placed 4th). Before that game, the home loss against Brasiliense with the scoreline 0-3.
As you see from the result above, Palmas suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Palmas have scored 1 goal here in 5 league matches, a depressing statistic. Palmas have conceded 11 goals in these home games, a significant number.
