There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Serie B table so far. Here's the Avaí - Confiança latest:
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
It's quite the trip for Confiança when visiting Avaí as the cities are 2800 kilometers apart.
Avaí form and stats
6-1-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Avaí so far this season. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Estádio Aderbal Ramos da Silva.
Avaí's previous game was a Serie B match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Parana (placed 9th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Preceding that game was the away draw at Nautico that finished 2-2.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Avaí as they are travelling to their away game against Botafogo SP in the Serie B. That match is three days after this one.
The Avaí fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 11 matches. 13 goals have been conceded.
Confiança form and stats
Confiança have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 2-4-5 (11 played).
Confiança go into this game after a win, the home game against Botafogo SP that ended 1-0. Before that, Confiança travelled to Parana and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
Ari came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Botafogo SP last time out, making the manager D. Pollo Barioni feel like a tactical genius.
A new game in only four days for Confiança, the Serie B home match versus Cuiaba. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Confiança as they have only managed to score 10 times from 11 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 14 goals have been conceded by Confiança in these games.
