Avaí form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Avaí so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-13 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Avaí, who have now gone 14 games without a victory. The Atlético Mineiro game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Avaí aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 325 league minutes without a goal. Joao Paulo was the last player to find the net.

The manager Evando was unhappy after their last game, a Serie A match played at their home ground Arena Corinthians. Avaí suffered a 0-1 loss to Chapecoense (placed 19th). Before that, Avaí travelled to Cruzeiro and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any point(s) for the visitors would be a surprise. Checking earlier matches with similar odds with Avaí as the away team, we found two results. Statistics from these were 0 away wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. The outsiders lost 1 of these games by at least two goals.

A new game in only four days for Avaí, the Serie A home match versus Fluminense. Busy days.

Goals are few and far between in Avaí's away league games. Only 7 goals from 17 travels. In the opposite end, Avaí have conceded 29 goals in their away games.
