Game week two of the Serie D season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Rio Branco-VN - Boa preview:
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Rio Branco-VN form and stats
The last three games played by Rio Branco-VN, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.
An away draw last time out for Branco-VN, facing CAP Patrocinense in a game that ended 1-1.
In the match before that, Branco-VN hosted Real Noroeste and drew the Capixaba game 1-1.Boa form and stats
Let's have a look at how Boa performed last season in the Mineiro 1: They landed a 11th position in the league table after playing out 2 victories, 2 draws and 7 defeats. In total they scored 8 and conceded 14 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 0 - drew 1 and lost 4 with 2/6 goals scored/conceded. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 15 away games in a row.
Impressive finishing secured the home win 4-0 against Águia Negra in their previous game. As mentioned above, Boa was the only team on the pitch versus Águia Negra in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Caldense in the Mineiro 1.Head 2 Head
