- Vila Nova have the most matches under the total-line (13) in Serie B
- Avaí have the fewest conceded goals (6) away in Serie B

Vila Nova form and stats
With 1 Serie B win, 6 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Vila Nova are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Before that, Vila Nova drew at home versus Vitoria.The lack of attacking qualities in Vila means that they have only scored 2 goals in 10 league home games, less than half a goal per match.
