Vila Nova vs Fortaleza Live Stream, Predictions (Jul 22)

📊 Form Guide

Vila Nova

LWLWLL

Vila Nova won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 2-0 Serie B defeat last time out to Criciuma.

In that game, Vila Nova managed 63% possession and 12 shots on goal with 2 on target. For their opponents, Criciuma got 10 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Mateus (9') and Hermes (85') scored for Criciuma.

It’s been seldom in recent games that Vila Nova have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Vila Nova have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 games, shipping 10 goals during that time. That kind of pattern might not be carried forward into this game, though.

Ahead of this meeting, Vila Nova are undefeated in their previous 17 home league matches. What a fortress.

Fortaleza

LDWWLW

Fortaleza will go into this encounter following on from a 1-0 Serie B win vs Grêmio Novorizontino in their most recent match.

In that match, Fortaleza managed 38% possession and 17 shots at goal with 4 on target. The only player to score for Fortaleza was Vitinho (3'). Gremio Novorizontino had 19 attempts at goal with 4 on target.

Thiago Carpini's Fortaleza have fired home 6 times throughout their latest six matches. The aggregate of goals that have been scored against them during that period adds up to 6.

📰 Team News: Fortaleza

Out of a mainly healthy group of players, there’s only the lone fitness issue for the Fortaleza boss Thiago Carpini to contend with. Nathan Fogaça (Ankle sprain) misses out for this game.

⚡ Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Fortaleza could find themselves struggling to see themselves scoring against this Vila Nova side who should win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.

That’s why we have predicted a highly competitive game with a 1-0 advantage for Vila Nova after 90 minutes.

Let’s see.
