Ferroviária
DWDLWD
Ferroviária go into this match after a 2-2 Serie B drawn result versus Grêmio Novorizontino.
In that game, Ferroviária managed 50% possession and 14 shots at goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Ferroviária was Thiago Lopes (32'). For their opponents, Gremio Novorizontino had 16 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Nathan Fogaça (2') scored for Grêmio Novorizontino.
Their latest results show that quality has been evident in the Ferroviária rearguard. Ferroviária have been mean at the back, with the number of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their last six matches standing at 4. Previous results aside, we must now wait to see if that trend might persist in this next game.
Avaí

In that match, Avaí managed 55% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target. For their opponents, Atletico Goianiense had 9 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target.
A succession of very capable performances by the Avaí defensive unit has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their past 6 fixtures in total. In that time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 9.

Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Avaí and Ferroviária should play out a closely-fought contest here.
A draw is a real possibility, as we are expecting there to be little between them. We therefore think that it’s going to be a very close game with a 1-1 score at the end of this one.
