General match analysis
Vila Nova is the favorite in this fixture and I project a home win. At home Vila Nova averages 1.75 goals with xG 1.55 and 4.5 shots on target per match, while Avaí register 1.33 goals away with xG 1.36 and 3.67 shots on target. Numerically this points to a home attacking edge: Vila Nova attempts 14.5 shots per match versus 13 for Avaí and has a higher conversion rate 12% vs 10%. In the last 5 matches both sides scored 7 goals, but Avaí conceded 9 compared to Vila Nova’s 6, and average xG against for the visitors on the road is 2.19 versus 1.02 for the hosts. Additionally Vila Nova have performed significantly better in the last 5 (1.6 points per match vs 0.6 for Avaí), so I assess probabilities at roughly 60% for the home win, 25% for a draw and 15% for the away win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
I favor BTTS - Yes as more likely because Avaí away has a seasonal BTTS of 67% and BTTS in the last 5 matches of 80%, a strong signal of offensive goal availability. Additionally, Avaí has conceded an average of 1.8 goals in the last 5 fixtures and an away xG against of 2.19, suggesting opponents generate many clear chances. Vila Nova at home has a 60% clean sheet rate this season and a seasonal BTTS of 40%, but in the last 5 matches recorded BTTS of 60% and conceded an average of 1.2 goals, with an average offensive xG of 1.55 versus xG against 1.0. Both teams score at similar levels: seasonal goals averages are 1.2 for Vila Nova and 1.33 for Avaí, and in the last 5 matches both averaged 1.4 goals, so the probability that both teams will score increases.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Combining attacking xG and defensive xG yields 1.87 expected goals for Vila Nova (1.55 attacking xG versus 2.19 xG conceded to Avaí). For Avaí the model gives 1.18 expected goals (1.36 attacking xG versus 1.00 xG conceded to Vila Nova), totaling 3.05 expected goals. In the last 5 matches Vila Nova scored 7 and conceded 6 (avg 2.6 goals per match), while Avaí scored 7 and conceded 9 (avg 3.2 per match), confirming both teams’ tendency for higher-scoring games. Season over 2.5 rates are 40% for Vila Nova and 67% for Avaí, and in the last 5 matches Avaí had 80% of games over 2.5 and 80% BTTS, which is a strong signal for Over 2.5. At the same time Vila Nova has 60% clean sheets at home and Over 3.5 rates are relatively low (20% for Vila Nova, 33% for Avaí), therefore I recommend Over 2.5 as the best line, with an expected 3.05 goals.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Vila Nova led at the break in 40% of home matches and were level at half-time in 60%, while Avaí did not lead at the break in any away game and were level at half-time in 67% of matches. Avaí score on average 1.0 goals after the break and in 100% of their away fixtures at least one goal was scored after half-time, which increases the risk of a turnaround if Vila Nova takes the lead. xG slightly favors the hosts 1.55 to 1.36, while Avaí’s defense concedes as much as 2.19 xG versus 1.0 for Vila Nova, so I expect an even match with chances for both sides and difficulty for the visitors to keep a clean sheet. Vila Nova are in better form (last 5: 2 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss) and record 60% draws at home; therefore the safest pick is a draw at Half-Time and a draw after 90 minutes (HT/FT X/X).
