It's time for cup football and it's the Serie D Regular Season between Villa Nova and Tupynambás. Here's the biggest preview available before kick-off:
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Villa Nova and Tupynambás.
Villa Nova form and stats
Villa participated in Serie D the last season, where they reached the 8th finals and lost against URT.0 victories, 1 draw and 4 defeats. That’s what Villa Nova have to build on here at Estádio Municipal Castor de Cifuentes in the Mineiro 1. 1W-0D-2L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Serie D for Villa Nova. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Villa with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Boa game, 231 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Estádio Municipal Castor de Cifuentes, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Tupynambás game.
The Villa crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Gama here at Estádio Municipal Castor de Cifuentes in a Serie D match. Prior to that, an away loss at Bahia de Feira in the Serie D.
This is expected to be a close game, with Villa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Villa Nova as a small favourite), we find one game. Villa Nova has won zero of these, drawn zero and lost one.
The Villa Nova fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. Villa Nova have conceded 11 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Tupynambás form and stats
0-3-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Tupynambás in their Mineiro 1 matches away. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Serie D stats, they have 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses both home and away. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Tupynambás, who have now gone 15 games without a victory. The Guarani MG game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
The attacking players of Tupynambás have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 372 minutes.
Tupynambás delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Caldense in their previous match; a Serie D game. Preceding that game was the away Serie D victory against Palmas with the score of 2-0.
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. In the opposite end, Tupynambás have conceded 9 goals in their away games.
