Ferroviária Avaí betting prediction

The team plays its first match in this edition of the Copa do Brasil with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 8 goals scored and 28 conceded; against 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses at their stadium, with 9 goals scored and 20 conceded. In their last match, for the Catarinense 1, they got a home loss against Criciúma by (0‑1). In the last 10 away matches Avaí has won 1, tied 2 and lost 7. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 2 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in all of those 2 matches and held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in all of them. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 9 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Avaí has strengthened a lot this season and all this aiming at good campaigns in the competitions that will lie ahead. In the Copa do Brasil there is almost an obligation to pass the stage, even more that the draw is something that has in its favor. They will certainly need to respect the home team, but it is in search of qualification that they will be going and will need to impose theirselves. In this way, they must study their opponent and find the most correct ways to act without harming theirselves. In this match, the best players available will be in the field.

Confirmed Lineup: Lucas Frigeri, Ze Marcos, Capa, Airton, Betão, Arnaldo, Pedro Castro, Valdívia, Bruno Silva, Jonathan, Rildo.
Coach: C. dos Santos Oliveira.
