Vila Nova form and stats

5-7-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Vila Nova, who have the fewest scored goals (7) at home in Serie B, so far this season. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Vila Nova after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Vila's last game was hosting Remo (placed 12th) and winning 1-0. Midfielder Dudu was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.83 (out of ten) in that game. Dudu hit two key passes.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Ponte Preta that finished 1-1.

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 nine matches with the results: Won five, drawn two and lost two.

Vila has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 7 goals from 15 games. Defensively Vila have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (6 in 15 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

CRB form and stats

8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of CRB, who have the most points (26) away in Serie B, playing as the away team in the Serie B this season.

There were no winners in CRB's previous match, a Serie B home game that ended 2-2 vs Guarani (placed 6th). CRB's last match (vs Guarani) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 90th minute equalizer by Wesley. Jaja got a match rating of 7.82 in that game, top player of the team. Jaja hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Botafogo wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with CRB playing away and similar expectations, we found 17 relevant matches. Results were six CRB wins, four draws and seven defeats.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far CRB have scored 20 goals in 15 league games away. CRB have conceded 18 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The newest past match involving both these contenders is the CRB - Vila 2-1 played not long ago this season. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Vila victories, three draws and two CRB wins. Over/under statistics; seven of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
