The season is still fairly new and the Serie B table has to be read with caution. So far Ponte Preta find themselves in 13th position and Vitória are placed 5th.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ponte Preta and Vitória.
It's quite the trip for Vitória when visiting Ponte as the cities are 1900 kilometers apart.
Ponte Preta form and stats
Ponte Preta's first Serie B home game here at Estádio Moisés Lucarelli ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats from 6 matches.
The home team returns to Estádio Moisés Lucarelli after being equal after 90 minutes with Brasil de Pelotas (placed 11th) on their last time out; the Serie B game ended 1-1. Preceding that match was a defeat to América Mineiro (0-1).
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 Ponte Preta have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won eight times, drawn three and lost two.
There will be little rest for Ponte after this match as they are travelling to Oeste for a Serie B game in only four days.
Early season league goal statistics from Ponte Preta's 1 home game: 0 goals, 1 conceded.
