Avaí have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

There haven't been much to rest for the home team, as they featured in a Serie A game only four days back. Thankfully the previous game, versus Goiás, was also a home game here at Arena Pantanal. The away team is better rested.

1-1 away at Ceará before that.

Avaí form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Avaí so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-12 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

A 0-3 loss hosting Fluminense before that.
