This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie B, Confiança holding 16th place and Guarani lying 15th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

The hosts Confiança saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Serie B. Thankfully the previous game, versus Avai, was also a home game here at Estádio Estadual Lourival Baptista. The away team is better rested.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Guarani, who are travelling more than 2100 kilometers to play this game.

Confiança form and stats

1 victory, 3 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what Confiança have to build on here at Estádio Estadual Lourival Baptista in the Serie B.

The spoils were shared in Confiança's previous game, also at home. Visiting Avai (placed 11th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Juventude.

This is expected to be a close game, with Confiança perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Confiança as a small favourite), we find seven games. Confiança has won three of these, drawn three and lost one.

The Confiança fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 6 goals in 4 league matches. Confiança have conceded 5 in these home matches.

Guarani form and stats

The visitors are W2-D0-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Serie B.

There were no winners in Guarani's previous match, a Serie B home game that ended 0-0 vs Brasil de Pelotas (placed 12th). Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Operario PR.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Guarani playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three Guarani wins, three draws and four defeats.

The attacking power of Guarani when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. As opposed to that, Guarani have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last four meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Confiança, zero draws and two wins for Guarani. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
