Novorizontino and Operário PR meet in Serie B, with the hosts sitting 2nd and pushing for promotion, while the visitors are 10th and need points to close out the season safely. Their most recent matches ended differently: Novorizontino won 1-0, while Operário PR also won 1-0, but before that the visitors lost several in a row and completely fell out of form. Novorizontino come in very solid, unbeaten in 5 straight and picking up 4 wins in that stretch. Their attack is firing, especially late in games when they often close the door on opponents. Operário PR only just got back to winning in their last match after losing several in a row. A defense that has conceded 46 goals in 35 matches is still a concern, but the visitors scoring 45 all season shows they are not a team that only sits back. This game should see Novorizontino dominate possession and push forward, while Operário PR will likely wait for counterattacks and try to keep the game in hand for as long as possible. If the hosts can speed up the tempo and score first, the game could open up, but if the visitors defend tightly and avoid conceding easily, there is still a chance the game ends closely contested.
