Boa take on the visitors Avai at “Estadio Melao” in the matchday 11 of the Brazilian Serie B. The game will be played in Varginha on Saturday, June 16th.
Boa returned to the Serie B again, having spent a year in the Serie C. However, the things are going bad for the team as it looks rather unconvincing even in contrast to not the strongest clubs of the second division, having lost six out of 10 encounters conducted with only seven goals scored in them which are the worst result in the league. Boa have not managed to gain a single triumph in face of their supporters, being the only the participant of the Serie B with such an “achievement. The side collected two defeats together with two draws at the home pitch.

Meanwhile, last season Avai performed in the Serie A, desperately fighting for a place in the elite division till the very last round. In order to stay with the Serie A, “Leao da Ilha” had to beat Santos in the closing tackle of the season, but it managed to obtain only a draw. As a result, the club earned the same number of points as Coritiba and Vitoria, bud had been left behind by the tie-breaker and relegated from the elite division. Still, the side made quite a confident start in the lower division in this season, having got five triumphs and just two failures in 10 clashes conducted. Moreover, “Leao da Ilha” produces the best performance on the road in the league, having collected three victories, a draw and single loss at away fields.
The hosts celebrated four wins in six latest head-to-heads between the rivals while the visitors succeeded not a single time in them. However, it should be noted that last time the teams met more than four years ago and Avai have managed to appear in the Serie A while Boa have visited the Serie C since then. Besides, the start of the season proved that the forthcoming hosts cannot compete with the clubs claiming for promotion to the Serie A, thus, despite the unfavourable head-to-heads statistics for the visitors, I expect that “Leao da Ilha” will beat the major outsider of the Serie B.
Prediction for the match: Avai to win.
