Vila Nova host Cuiabá in Serie B, with the home side top of the table on 57 points from 31 matches, while the visitors sit 10th, 11 points behind. In this game the home side need three points to keep their place at the top of the table, while Cuiabá still need to collect points to move up out of the mid-table group. Vila Nova come in on a very solid run of form, on a winning run of 3 and unbeaten in 5, with a 1-0 win in their latest match. The defence is tight, conceding only 31 goals all season. Cuiabá have also won 2 in a row, but their overall results are still inconsistent, conceding 25 goals from 31 matches. The condition of the two teams is therefore not all that different, with both currently in a positive spell of results. The pattern of play is likely to see the home side dominate the attack slightly more, based on 46.9% average possession in their last 10 matches and Vila Nova's 5.6 shots on target per game, which is higher than their opponents. If the home side score first, Cuiabá will have to open up and fight their way back into it, which would leave wider gaps at the back and the game would likely flow even more in the home side's favour.
