Avai hosts Ponte Preta in round 29 of Brazilian Serie B. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 6th at Ressacada (Florianopolis)
From 2014 to 2019, Avai alternated seasons in which they were promoted to the elite division and immediately returned to Serie B. This trend failed only in 2020, when the club finished only 9th in the 2nd-ranked league of the country. But now the Lions intend to fix this misfire quickly, as they are realizing that there is a risk of getting stuck at the level of Serie B. It will be very difficult to catch up with the leader, Coritiba. But Avai can compete for the 2nd place, which also gives the right for promotion. Moreover, the Lions managed to gain good shape in the fall. They consecutively beat Goias, CRB, Londrina, and Botafogo. As a result, Avai managed to take 2nd place, but as many as three teams are behind by only one point, so the whole fight for promotion is ahead.

In 2012-2017, Ponte Preta performed in the highest division of the country (with a one-year exception). But then the club left the elite. And now it is among middle peasants of the Serie B standings. At first, there were hopes to change this: Ponte Preta took 5th place, and the last draw brought the 7th line. But now it seems that the Black-and-Whites have nothing to fight for. There is a comfortable gap from the relegation zone, but high places are definitely unattainable. In general, Ponte Preta can just somehow play out the season. Despite this, the club even managed to beat Operario and Brasil de Pelotas, but then there was an away defeat to CSA (2-1). The Black-and-Whites had a great chance to beat Vila Nova in the last round, but the opponent equalized in the 10th added minute, converting a penalty.
In 2015, Avai was able to win at home. After that, the hosts of the arena, whoever they were, had four draws and three defeats in the last seven head-to-head matches. Now we will see the match between one of the leaders against the team from the bottom of the standings. We recommend betting that the hosts will win this game.
Prediction for the match: Avai to win
