Therefore, relegation is still an imminent risk and even with a second round ahead, the balance of competition is something that weighs against.
The team won two matches and drew two in the last five matches played, still having an attack that does not score a few goals, in fact much more than the next teams in the standings, but their defense is the worst of the competition with no less than thirty Three goals received in twenty matches.
Playing away from home the team did not get much good results, but still managed to score in five of nine matches, having only four defeats, but their average of only 1.3 goals scored to 1.6 received weighs against the team.
