Vila Nova and Juventude meet in a match where the points are very close, just two points apart at the top of the Serie B table, and their last matches ended in contrasting fashion: the hosts lost at home 2-3, while the visitors romped to a 4-0 win. So this game is a measure between a team that has just stumbled and a team that is going well. Vila Nova are still a dangerous team at home, but their defence has started to show cracks late in games, while Juventude are unbeaten in 5 matches and have conceded only 23 goals all season, clearly fewer than their opponents here. The tighter defence is the main reason the visitors rarely let games slip away. After kick-off, the first thing to watch is how much Vila Nova can push forward, because if the hosts push high and get caught by Juventude's quick counter-attacks, the game could end with the visitors unbeaten and taking the points home as they want.
