Guarani form and stats

8-5-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Guarani so far this season.

Guarani are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 210 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by M. Ludke).

Guarani are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Cuiaba. Prior to that, an away loss at CRB.

Guarani were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

There will be little rest for Guarani after this match as they are travelling to Avaí for a Serie B game in only three days.

The Guarani fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 25 in 17 matches. Guarani have conceded 17 in these home matches.

Vitória form and stats

There's been little loot from Vitória's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 17 away games in the Serie B. Vitória only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 9 draws.

Before that, Vitória travelled to Avaí and returned home with a draw after the game finished 2-2.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Vitória have scored 20 goals in 17 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As for defending, Vitória rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 29 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Vitória - Guarani 1-1 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - five - one (Guarani wins - draws - Vitória wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), eight had two or less.
