Match preview: Athletic vs Novorizontino

Athletic and Novorizontino play at Joaquim Portugal Stadium, in a match of the 8th round of Série B. According to our data, there are no recent matches between the two teams. Special attention to the home and away conditions is necessary, as both teams record significantly different results when playing at home versus on the road.

Team analysis: Athletic

The home team currently sits in 18th place, having accumulated 3 points from 2 wins and 5 defeats. They suffered a home loss to Vila Nova (0-1) in their second-to-last fixture but bounced back with an impressive away win against Botafogo SP (0-3). Athletic tends to perform better in front of their home crowd, showing a record of 6 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses in their last 10 home games across all competitions. Defensive solidity has been a concern, as they have conceded goals in 6 of their last 7 matches, indicating a struggle to maintain clean sheets. Additionally, there has been a tendency for high-scoring games, with 15 of their last 21 home fixtures concluding with over 2.5 goals. In those 15 matches, they have only managed to turn around the score in 1 of the 6 games in which they conceded the first goal.

The recent victory over Botafogo-SP has brought some relief to Athletic, who are still experiencing a phase of uncertainty. The lack of consistency has been evident for their campaign in the Brasileirão Série B, which finds them battling near the bottom of the table. It’s imperative that they build on this moment and seize the opportunity to secure points at home against Novorizontino.

Team analysis: Novorizontino

The visiting team is currently positioned 13th, having garnered 10 points via 2 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss. They faced a setback in their penultimate match, losing to Atlético GO (1-0), but managed to draw against Ferroviário (2-2) in their most recent match. Interestingly, Novorizontino tends to achieve better results when playing away, recording 7 wins, 5 draws, and 3 defeats in their last 30 away fixtures, scoring a total of 18 goals while conceding 11. In contrast, their home form includes 4 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses, with 14 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 away games, Novorizontino has secured 4 wins, 4 draws, and 2 defeats. They have conceded goals in 5 of their last 7 matches, indicating defensive vulnerabilities, though their attack remains effective, having found the net regularly in the same number of fixtures. There appears to be a trend for fewer goals in their away games, as 20 of the last 28 have seen less than 3 goals, and they have managed to overcome deficits in 3 of the 7 games in which they conceded the first goal.

Novorizontino is striving to establish their presence in the Brasileirão Série B. While their performance has not met expectations thus far, they are eager to enhance their standing and move away from the relegation zone. With only one loss in their previous five matches, they bring a sense of confidence and resilience into this challenging encounter against Athletic.
