The visiting Novorizontino side should be favourites in this visit to São Luiz, as the away team holds a 5 point advantage from their seven league games this season.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Novorizontino have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
São Luiz form and stats
São Luiz 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. The home fans are hungry for more even though São Luiz have been steadily collecting points here at Estádio 19 de Outubro through three straight draws.
Luiz manager E. Picoli and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Marcílio Dias (placed 4th) in the Serie D. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Marcílio Dias that ended 1-1.
São Luiz has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 3 games. Defensively Luiz have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Novorizontino form and stats
Novorizontino, who have the fewest conceded goals (2) in Serie D, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie D, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses).
Novorizontino played 1-1 against Caxias in their previous match. Prior to that result Novorizontino won their away game at Caxias. The scoreline was 1-0.
The schedule is very tough for Novorizontino now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie D game at Sao Caetano is waiting in only three days.
The attacking power of Novorizontino when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. Novorizontino are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 1 away goal have been conceded so far.
