This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie B, Vila Nova holding 18th place and Guarani lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Serie B game only four days ago.
Guarani have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Vila Nova can neither be promoted or relegated from Serie B. Guarani is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
Vila Nova form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie B this season. Vila Nova, who have the fewest scored goals (23) in Serie B, have only managed 1 win, 10 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Serra Dourada. With 13 home games in a row without a win, the Vila Nova fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the São Bento game long ago, can be stopped today.
The points were shared in Vila Nova's previous game, also at home. Visiting Operário PR (placed 9th) travelled back with a point after a 0-0 scoreline. 0-0 away at Figueirense before that.
Vila Nova are traveling soon after this match as the Serie B match at Sport Recife awaits in four days.
Vila Nova have scored 9 league goals here from 17 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Vila Nova have conceded 18 goals.
Guarani form and stats
Guarani have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 2-5-10 (17 played).
Guarani's last game was the home draw against Ponte Preta (0-0). Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Bragantino's place.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Operário PR in just three days.
The visitors have scored 9 goals from 17 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Guarani have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.
