Insights:
  • Novorizontino have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Sampaio Corrêa have lost all their away matches so far.

Sampaio Corrêa have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Novorizontino form and stats

The overall Serie B results at home this season for Novorizontino are 2-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).

No payout for Novorizontino in their previous match, an away game at CSA that ended in defeat 1-2. Midfielder Bochecha was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.15 (out of ten) in that game. Bochecha hit one key pass and had 56 successful passes (of 65 total).

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Sport Recife that ended 0-0.

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 Novorizontino have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 2 and lost 5.

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

Novorizontino are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. 5 goals have been conceded.

Sampaio Corrêa form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie B travels is 0 wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Condé, the Sampaio Corrêa manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Impressive finishing from Poveda and Luiz secured the home win 2-1 against Guarani in their previous game. Midfield player Luiz was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.12/10. Luiz scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Prior to that match, the Sampaio Corrêa manager Condé faced defeat when travelling to Cruzeiro and losing 0-2.

We have checked recent matches where Sampaio have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were 2 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sampaio Corrêa manager Condé as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Criciúma.

Sampaio Corrêa are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 4 away games. Sampaio have conceded 6 goals in these games.
