Bahia Avaí betting prediction

The away team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 17ª and suffered relegation. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 9 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 15 conceded. In their last match, for the Copa do Brasil, they got a home tie against o Bragantino by (1‑1). In the last 10 away matches Avaí has won 2, tied 1 and lost 7.

Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, and their offense hasn’t been one of their best features, as they haven’t scored any 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 3 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 3 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 12 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Avai hadn’t a happy season beginning and was almost relegated in Santa Catarina championship, being also away from the Brazilian Cup. However, they’re now entirely focused on the B Series to try to forget the other competitions. This first match against Bahia won’t be easy, even more against a direct opponent in the fight for promotion and, for that reason a draw would already be an interesting result.
For this match the coach Silas won’t count on John Philip and Judson, and he still has Lucas Coelho and Rafinha in doubt.

Confirmed Lineup: Renan, Andrezinho, Alemão, Gabriel, Vitor, Jajá, Lucas Sá, Vinícius Pacheco, Romarinho, Tauã.
Coach: C. dos Santos Oliveira.
