Operario Ferroviario welcome Vila Nova on Sunday, Aug 23 at 11:00 PM in a Serie B fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Operario Ferroviario come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Vila Nova travel in mixed form (2W 0D 3L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Operario Ferroviario face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Vila Nova have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in Operario Ferroviario won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Operario Ferroviario a slight edge, but Vila Nova are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
