Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Vila Nova in 12th and Brusque in 10th place.
- Vila Nova have the fewest scored goals (2) at home in Serie B
- Brusque have scored at least twice as many goals away as Vila Nova have scored home.
It's no vacation for neither Vila nor Brusque as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as Brusque have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Vila Nova form and stats
Vila Nova, who have the fewest scored goals (2) at home in Serie B, have collected 7 points from their Serie B home games so far after 1-4-1. The home fans are hungry for more even though Vila have been steadily collecting points here at Estádio do Governo do Estado de Goiás through three straight draws.
The fans are hoping that Vila will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Serie B game against CRB (placed 5th). Willian Formiga was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.33 out of 10. The defender Formiga served one assist, hit four key passes and won 9 of 17 duels.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Brasil de Pelotas.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 Vila have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won four, drawn four and lost two.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie B game versus Cruzeiro in only three days. This game is also played here at Estádio do Governo do Estado de Goiás.
Vila have scored 2 goals here in 6 league matches, a depressing statistic. Vila Nova have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
Brusque form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Brusque so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-4 (win-draw-lose). It's all red in the travel logs of Brusque, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.
Brusque are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Serie B against Botafogo (placed 13th). The attacker Thiago Alagoano got a match rating of 8.75 in that game. Alagoano scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes and had 20 successful passes (of 24 total).
Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Remo's place.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Brusque playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were three Brusque wins, three draws and five defeats.
Brusque has another fixture away, a Serie B game, against Nautico in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
