Guarani hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 18 points and a 15th position in the Serie B table. Visiting Avaí holds 9th place with 23 pts.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Serie B. That game was an away game at Vitória, so at least Guarani are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
