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 - Paraná latest:
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Avaí form and stats
Avaí have played 10 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-1-4 (wins-draws-losses).
An away draw last time out for Avaí, facing Náutico in a game that ended 2-2. Ahead of that match, Avaí won a home game hosting America Mineiro (1-0).
Avaí are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 10 games. On the other hand, Avaí have conceded 12 goals.
Paraná form and stats
There's been little loot from Paraná's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 9 away games in the Serie B. Paraná only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws.
Paraná's last game was the home draw against Confianca (1-1). Prior to that match, the Paraná manager A. Aal faced defeat when travelling to Cruzeiro and losing 0-2.
As mentioned above, Paraná drew the match against Confianca. Manager A. Aal brought on Leo Castro to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
Paraná are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 9 games (in the league). Paraná struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 15 goals conceded from these games. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
