Competition: Brazil Serie B
Date: Sat 24.August
Match begins: 19:30 (UTC)
Venue: Estádio Manoel Barradas (35980 seats)

Season ticket holders at Estádio Manoel Barradas haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Vitória languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Operário PR will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Operário PR have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Vitória form and stats

Vitória, who have the most conceded goals (26) in Serie B, have played 8 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-1-3 (wins-draws-losses).

The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus America Mineiro in the Serie B last time out and are looking for a win here. Before that match, a win away at CRB.

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 Vitória have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.

Vitória are traveling soon after this match as the Serie B match at Coritiba awaits in three days.
