Ituano form and stats

3-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Ituano so far this season. When Ituano hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Avai, Chapecoense, Ituano, Sampaio Correa, ABC and Londrina), they have won 2 of 3 matches!

Ituano drew their last game, 1-1 away at Ceara (placed 10th). The Ituano goalkeeper Paulino was crucial in the match against Ceara last time out, making six saves.

Ahead of that match, Ituano lost 0-1 at home to Avai.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Ituano have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 16 games) they have won 8 times, drawn 4 and lost 4.

Low-scoring affair? In this team's last 10 league games, 9 have contained zero, one or two goals.

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

The Ituano fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 9 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Ituano have conceded only 8 goals.

Tombense form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Tombense so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-6 (win-draw-lose).

There were no winners in Tombense's previous match, the home game that ended 2-2 vs Criciúma (placed 6th). The draw against Criciúma came from a losing position. The Tombense manager Burse brought on Pedro as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level. Midfielder Silva was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.55. Silva had 54 successful passes (of 62 total).

Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Mirassol's place.

Tombense are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 4 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats. From a total of 16 matches.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Tombense have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road.
