Avaí form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, Avaí have managed 6 wins, 4 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 15 games.

The Avaí regulars got no joy from their last match, also played here at Estádio Aderbal Ramos da Silva: A 1-2 defeat against Atletico GO (placed 19th). The forward Pottker outshone all teammates in that fixture and managed a match rating of 8.6 out of 10. Pottker scored one goal, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 7 times and had 35 successful passes (of 43 total).

Heartbreak before that as Avaí lost 0-4 at Sao Paulo's place.

There will be little rest for Avaí after this match as they are travelling to Fortaleza for a Serie A game in only three days.

Avaí are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 15 games. Avaí have conceded 19 in these home matches.

Soares, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.43. Soares scored one goal.

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Goias.

A tale of few goals? 13 of this club's most recent 16 league rounds have contained two or less goals.
