Avaí form and stats

There's been little loot from Avaí's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 17 away games in the Serie A. Avaí only have 1 win to counter their 13 defeats and 3 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Avaí have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Kevin was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.43. The defender Kevin scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 7 of 10 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Cuiaba wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

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