Nothing but a win will do for the Avaí supporters in this Estádio Aderbal Ramos da Silva clash with Vitória, as they enjoy a robust lead on them in the Serie B table.

Insights:
  • Avaí haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
  • Vitória have the fewest matches over the total-line (9) in Serie B

It's no vacation for neither Avaí nor Vitória as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Vitória have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Avaí are battling for top spots and have everything to play for. Vitória are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Avaí form and stats

9 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Avaí have to build on here at Estádio Aderbal Ramos da Silva in the Serie B.

Avaí are returning here after visiting Brasil de Pelotas in a Serie B game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Jonathan Copete scored the goal(s). Bruno Silva was on the receiving end of a red card in the Avaí-Brasil de Pelotas match, being sent off in the 29th minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 1-0 victory. Diego Renan, defender, was given a rating of 7.8/10 in that game, top of the team. Renan hit one key pass and won 8 of 10 duels.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Operario PR.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Avaí have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won six times, drawn four and lost four.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Avaí as they have a new game in only three days, a Serie B match thankfully also at home. CSA are visiting.

Avaí are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 16 games. Avaí are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Aderbal Ramos da Silva in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 11 from 16 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Vitória form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Vitória so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 2-8-6 (win-draw-lose). Vitória has drawn their two previous away games.

The attacking players of Vitória have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 188 minutes.

Vitória might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. CSA proved too strong as Vitória slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio Manoel Barradas. Midfielder Eduardo was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.93. Eduardo hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 47 successful passes (of 55 total).

A 0-0 draw at Ponte Preta's stadium before that.

We have checked recent matches where Vitória have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those twelve games were one victory, eight draws and three defeats.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Vitória's away games in the league this season with only 8 goals from 16 matches. It's not easy to score on Vitória as they have only conceded 14 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

This isn't the first time these sides meet this campaign, as the records show this recent match: Vitória - Avaí 0-0. Head to head statistics (for the last ten meetings): Avaí won four games, four matches ended in a draw and Vitória managed two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / seven
