Novorizontino host Ponte Preta in Serie B, with the home side sitting 3rd in the table while the visitors are stuck in 20th and have just lost 0-2 to Juventude in the league on 7 Oct, while Novorizontino won 2-0 away at Náutico on 9 Oct. In this game the home side want three points to hold their position, while Ponte Preta need points to escape the bottom of the table. Novorizontino come in with their attack functioning, especially late in games where they often score from their physical advantage. Ponte Preta have problems in defence, conceding regularly, and their attack has struggled to produce goals in many recent matches. If the home side score first from a spell of sustained pressure, the game is likely to flow in one direction, because Ponte Preta would have to open up and fight, risking being caught on the counter again. But if the visitors defend deep and hold out for a long time, the game could become one where the home side dominate the ball but find it harder to break through.
