São Bernardo closed out their last five with a 0-1 home defeat, while Vila Nova closed theirs with a 2-2 draw at home. The two teams are heading in opposite directions in the table. Vila Nova sit 1st with 62 points from 34 matches, while São Bernardo are 12th with 46 points. This game is therefore one where the hosts want to stop their own mistakes, while the visitors want to maintain the gap at the top of the table. Vila Nova are unbeaten in 5 straight, with 3 wins and 2 draws, defending tightly and scoring consistently. São Bernardo in the same period have won just 1, drawn 2 and lost 2. Their attack still carries some threat, but the defence concedes too easily, especially late in games where they have conceded often enough to be a concern. This game is likely to play out with the hosts having to open up to get a home result, but Vila Nova are good at sitting deep and waiting for the counter. If the hosts cannot attack sharply enough, the game could end in a share of the points, a result the visitors would happily take. The first half should be relatively cagey, but in the second half the hosts will push higher and open space for the visitors to play more easily.
