Tuesday’s action in the Brazilian Serie B sees a clash between Volta Redonda and Avai FC.
With goal difference separating them from the relegation zone, Volta Redonda have had a difficult start to the season, despite losing one of their last five games. On the other hand, Avai FC have been impressive, sitting one point away from the promotional spots.
As the game approaches, here is everything you need to know about the sides ahead of kick-off.
• Volta Redonda have scored three goals in their last five matches
• Volta Redonda have drawn three out of their last five matches
• Avai FC have lost once in their last five matches
• Avai FC have conceded three goals in their last five matches
After being promoted to Serie B last season, Volta Redonda have struggled, sitting just above the relegation spots. However, in recent weeks, Redonda have been on relatively strong form, losing just once within their last six games.
Their opponents, Avai FC, have also been in strong form, losing twice in their last 15 fixtures. The last time out for the 6th-placed side was a 1-0 victory at home over CRB.
Cleber will be one to watch in this fixture, the 28-year-old having scored three goals in Serie B this season. The Brazilian comes into this clash on mediocre form, having netted once in his last three games.
Volta Redonda Predicted Lineup (5-4-1): Jean, Jhonny, Bahia, Gabriel, Adell, Sanchez, Ferreira, Robinho, Pierre, Silvestre, Heliardo.
Sanchez is Volta Redonda’s creator, despite being a full-back, the Brazilian has registered one goal and one assist this season. Alongside Sanchez on the left, Matheus Lucas is the team’s top scorer with two goals.
Avai FC Predicted Lineup (4-4-2): Bohn, Vinicius, Barreto, Brock, Pedrao, Vitor, Andrey, JP, Marquinhos, Cleber, Manga.
Cleber is the danger-man in attack, the Brazilian having two-three goals and assisted two in 11 Serie B appearances. At the back, Igor Bohn has made solid, keeping three clean sheets.
With the two sides often operating in different tiers of Brazilian football, Volta Redonda and Avai FC are yet to face each other with Tuesday set to be their first meeting.
With both teams in similar form, not winning football matches but also not losing, a draw will be seen as the favourite pick in this fixture.

Odds of 1.75 from QuinnBet means that a £10 bet could see a potential return of £27.50.
