Avai haven’t tasted victory since the 10th of September across six games in a row covering three losses and three draws. In the recent encounter the side got 1:1 draw against Botafogo RJ in face of its supporters. After 29 rounds played, the club settles on the 19th place in elite division table with 31 points taken, 18 goals for and 34 goals against. The team’s defense shows impressive football while its offense is simply weak and without scored goals there are neither triumphs nor points gained. In 14 games on the road Avai earned 14 points with nine goals for and 19 goals against.
The rivals are more or less equal as both of them are leading the relegation battle, not quite succeeding in it so far, both of them demonstrate impressive defense and disappointing offense. Judging from the teams’ results, it is going to be a tough fight with minimum scored goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
