Season ticket holders at Itaipava Arena Pernambuco haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Náutico languishing in the 17th position so far. The guesting Avaí will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
It's quite the trip for Avaí when visiting Náutico as the cities are 3300 kilometers apart.
Náutico form and stats
Overall Serie B stats at home this season for Náutico are 2-5-2 (wins-draw-losses).
In their previous game, the manager G. Kleina led his Náutico to a defeat in the Serie B match away at CSA. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Itaipava Arena Pernambuco. In the match before that, Náutico hosted Cruzeiro and drew the game 1-1.
The Náutico fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 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. Náutico's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 10 times.

Avaí form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie B travels is 3 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. Avaí seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Avaí go into this game after a win, the home game against America Mineiro that ended 1-0. A 1-2 defeat away at Guarani before that.
Avaí have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 9 goals have been scored. 13 goals have been conceded by Avaí in these games.
Head 2 Head
Avaí - Náutico 3-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last nine meetings): Náutico won three games, one match ended with a draw and Avaí has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / fourTop Goalscorers
