Avaí

WDLDLL

Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Santos in Serie B action, Avaí will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that match, Avaí had 50% possession and 17 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. For their opponents, Santos had 17 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. Julio César Furch (79') scored for Santos.

The strike force from Avaí have been starved of goals over their previous six encounters, recording the unsatisfactory return of just 2. In those matches, Leão da Ilha have also seen the collective goal aggregate against them equal 8. That pattern won’t necessarily follow through here, of course.

Going into this encounter, Avaí haven’t won away from home in the past 2 league games.
