A home team triumph, the away team runs away as victors or an exciting draw? It's all possible when the mid-table sides EC São José and Altos battle at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda.

Insights:
  • EC São José have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Altos have won significantly more corners away than at home.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Altos, who are travelling more than 3700 kilometers to play this game.

It's no vacation for neither José nor Altos as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

EC São José form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for EC São José's two home games in the Serie C so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda.

An away draw last time out for EC São José, facing Paysandu in a game that ended 1-1. Medeiros was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Paysandu after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

In the game before, an away victory match versus Brusque with a 1-0 scoreline.

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 EC São José have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.

There will be little rest for José after this match as they are travelling to Ypiranga Erechim for a Serie C game in only four days.

Early season league goal statistics from EC São José's 2 home games: {2 goals}, 1 conceded.

Altos form and stats

Things could have gone better for Altos in their Serie C away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.

Altos's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus CSA that finished 1-1.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Aparecidense at their stadium, the result 2-1.

Altos are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 11 matches.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Serie C trip to Floresta.

As opposed to that, Altos have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
