Vila Nova form and stats

Vila Nova, who have the fewest scored goals (7) at home in Serie B, have collected 23 points from their Serie B home games so far after 5-8-3.

The Vila supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Aquidauanense in Copa Verde and win 7-0. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Vila played a great game against Aquidauanense and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.

A 1-1 draw away in the Serie B before that, with Cruzeiro the opponent.

This is expected to be a close game, with Vila perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Vila Nova as a small favourite), we find ten games. Vila Nova has won six of these, drawn two and lost two.

There will be little rest for Vila after this match as they are travelling to Sampaio Correa for a Serie B game in only four days.

The lack of attacking qualities in Vila Nova means that they have only scored 7 goals in 16 league home games, less than half a goal per match. As for guarding their own goal, Vila Nova have only let in 6 goals at home.

Guarani form and stats

5-6-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Guarani in their Serie B matches away.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Guarani goalkeeper Rafael Martins Claro dos Santos is eager to challenge this, with his 180 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Guarani are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Serie B against Vasco da Gama (placed 8th). World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager D. Pollo Barioni when Pablo Diogo scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 77th minute. Rafael Martins was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.83. The agile goalkeeper Martins saved a penalty, stopped the opponent with three saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Prior to that result Guarani won their away game at Sampaio Correa. The scoreline was 1-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Guarani playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were eight Guarani wins, three draws and two defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Guarani now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie B game at Brasil de Pelotas is waiting in only three days.

The visiting Guarani have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 21 goals from 16 games. Guarani have conceded 20 goals in these away matches.
