Vila Nova form and stats

5-4-7 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Vila Nova in their Serie B matches away.

Two travels in a row for Vila, whose manager H. Magalhaes Batista could celebrate last time after the Copa Verde win against Aquidauanense.

Before that one, a nice away victory 3-2 at Brusque.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Vila playing away, we found two games. Results were one away win, zero draws and one home win.

After this away game Vila return home for a Copa Verde game against Aquidauanense. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Vila Nova find the net regularly in their away games. 20 goals from 16 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Vila have seen the ball go into their own net 21 times on the road.
