Operário PR form and stats

6 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Operário PR have to build on here at Estádio Germano Krüger in the Serie B. When Operário PR hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Brusque, Vila Nova, Chapecoense, CSA, Operário PR and Nautico), they have won 2 of 3 matches!

In their previous game, the manager da Costa led his Operário to a defeat away at Cruzeiro. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio Germano Krüger. The first setback in the shape of a defeat after going unbeaten through three league fixtures.

Ahead of that match, Operário PR won a home game hosting Londrina (1-0).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Operário PR have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won 6, drawn 3 and lost 4.

It should be noted that a glance at the 10 most recent league matches reveals that 8 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored a goal).

The Operário PR fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 14 matches. From these home matches, Operário have conceded only 11 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

There's been little loot from Guarani's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 14 away games in the Serie B. Guarani only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 5 draws. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Guarani's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Before that, Guarani secured a home win against Sampaio Correa with the score 3-0.
