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

📊 Form Guide

Vila Nova

LWLWLL

Vila Nova will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 2-0 Serie B loss in their previous game against Criciuma.

In that match, Vila Nova managed 63% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 2 on target. At the other end, Criciuma got 10 shots on goal with 4 of them 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 head into the meeting following a 1-0 Serie B win with the eclipse of Grêmio Novorizontino in their most recent fixture.

In that match, Fortaleza had 38% possession and 17 shots on goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Fortaleza was Vitinho (3'). For their opponents, Gremio Novorizontino had 19 attempts on 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

Owing to an otherwise full-strength group, there’s only the one fitness problem for the Fortaleza manager Thiago Carpini to contend with. Nathan Fogaça (Ankle sprain) won’t be in action.

💡 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.
