Boavista form and stats

1 victory, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Boavista have to build on here at Estádio Elcyr Resende de Mendonça in the Carioca Serie A.

A nice win for Boavista last time playing, versus Nova Iguaçu. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with de Carvalho scoring for the victors. What a relief, as that was the first three points in the league after going winless in nine games in a row. The victory against Nova Iguaçu came after de Carvalho's winning goal. The Boavista manager Moraes was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 68th minute.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Vasco da Gama (1-4).

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Boavista here at Estádio Elcyr Resende de Mendonça in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 4 games).

Volta Redonda form and stats

Playing away, Volta Redonda have won 3 games, drawn 1 and suffered 1 defeat in the Carioca Serie A this season. Volta Redonda has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

180 minutes! That's how long the Redonda goalkeeper Vinicius de Olvieira Guimaraes Dias and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Volta Redonda play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 6-0 victory visiting Madureira (placed 10th). As you can tell from the results above, Redonda was very dominant against Madureira, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 6-0 (!) with Silva, Jaime, Paulino and Genesio providing the goals. Genesio certainly enjoyed Volta Redonda's last game versus Madureira, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 6-0 victory.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Bangu with the score of 4-0.

Goal hungry football fans should note that 8 of this club's 10 most recent league rounds have ended with at least three goals.

Volta Redonda create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 13 goals in 5 travels. Volta Redonda are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 4 times in 5 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
