The visiting Athletico PR side should be favourites in this visit to Avaí, as the away team holds a 44 point advantage from their 37 league games this season.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Avaí and Athletico PR.

Avaí have had a bad season and will be relegated from Serie A. Athletico PR are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Avaí form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie A this season. Avaí, who have the most conceded goals (24) at home in Serie A, have only managed 1 win, 8 draws and 9 losses from their games here at Estadio da Ressacada. All in all it has been a very rough period for Avaí who hasn’t won a game in their last 17 attempts. Their previous win was against Atlético Mineiro, 75 days ago. With eight home games in a row without a win, the Avaí fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Atlético Mineiro game long ago, can be stopped today.

In their previous game, the manager Evando led his Avaí to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Flamengo. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio da Ressacada. Before that, Avaí drew at home versus Fluminense.

Avaí were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Avaí's goalkeeper Vladimir was extremely busy against Flamengo, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning 7 saves.

Avaí aren't scoring a lot here at Estadio da Ressacada in the league, with only 10 goals from 18 games. Avaí have conceded 24 in these home matches.
