Confiança hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 7 points and a 16th position in the Serie B table. Visiting Avaí holds 12th place with 9 pts.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Serie B.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Avaí, who are travelling more than 2800 kilometers to play this game.

Confiança form and stats

Confiança have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Serie B. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

Confiança faced defeat in their previous match, away at Juventude (1-3). Before that, Confiança played out a draw 1-1 when visiting CSA.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Confiança, as the Serie B home game vs Guarani is only three days away.

Confiança has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. 3 goals have been conceded.

Avaí form and stats

Things could have gone better for Avaí in their Serie B away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.

Daniel Amorim was the last player to score for the away team. Avaí haven't scored a league goal in the last 232 minutes.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie B home defeat versus Ponte Preta with 0-1 on the scoreboard. A 0-1 defeat away at Chapecoense before that.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Avaí as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Avaí are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
