Vila Nova form and stats

With 1 Serie B win, 11 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Vila Nova are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for Vila Nova who hasn’t won a game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Londrina, 54 days ago. Vila Nova are slowly digging their own grave here at Serra Dourada with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in 14 attempts. The last victory here came in the Sao Bento match.

Vila Nova manager Itamar Schülle and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Sport Recife (placed 2nd) in the Serie B. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Guarani that ended 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Vila Nova have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won 1 time, drawn 7 and lost 2.

Vila Nova aren't scoring a lot here at Serra Dourada in the league, with only 10 goals from 18 games. Vila Nova have conceded 19 in these home matches.

Oeste form and stats

Oeste have only collected 16 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 3-7-8 (18 played).

Oeste have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 203 minutes ago. Fabio was the goal scorer.

Oeste play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Coritiba (placed 3rd). A loss against Atletico GO was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Oeste are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 5 draws and 2 defeats. From a total of eight matches.

Oeste are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 20 away goals from 18 games (in the league). Oeste have conceded 28 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Oeste - Vila Nova 1-1. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 3 - 4 - 3 (Vila Nova wins - draws - Oeste wins). As for goals, 4 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 6 had two or less.
