Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Volta Redonda - Brusque!
The visiting Brusque played their last game only four days ago, a Copa do Brasil match. That game, against Ceara, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Brusque.
These teams have little in common geographically as Brusque have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Volta Redonda form and stats
Volta Redonda, who have the most scored goals (12) in Serie C, must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Serie C games here at Estádio Municipal General Raulino de Oliveira.
Volta Redonda drew their last game, 1-1 away at Sao Bento (placed 9th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Ypiranga Erechim (1-2).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Redonda have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won five, drawn two and lost one.
Redonda can score goals in their home matches. After 3 league matches they have found the net 6 times. Redonda have conceded 3 in these home matches.
Brusque form and stats
Brusque, who have the fewest conceded goals (2) in Serie C, have six points from their first three away games in the Serie C, meaning two victories and a loss.
Brusque have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Jose Carlos dos Anjos Savio. It's been 298 minutes since they last conceded in Serie C.
Brusque are travelling again after losing away to Ceara in their previous match (1-5). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Tombense in the Serie C.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Ceara was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Brusque in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Brusque, four draws and four defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Brusque are hosting Londrina in the Serie C only four days away.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Brusque as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Brusque are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 1 away goal have been conceded so far.
