General match analysis

Cuiabá come into this match in significantly better form: they have won 3 of their last 5 games, scoring 9 goals, while Avaí have failed to win any and have scored just 2. Home advantage further strengthens Cuiabá’s edge — the hosts have won 44% of their home games, while the visitors have lost 69% of their away matches. Cuiabá concede an average of 0.56 goals at home and keep a clean sheet in 56% of their games, which bodes poorly for a side that scores an average of 0.94 goals away from home. The quality of chances created also favours the hosts: their home xG is 1.75, compared with Avaí’s away xG of 1.00; meanwhile, the visitors allow opponents chances worth 1.87 xG per game. A draw remains a realistic possibility given Cuiabá’s 44% home draw rate, but the form and defensive numbers point to a home win.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The strongest argument for BTTS - No is Avaí’s poor scoring form: the visitors have scored just 2 goals in their last 5 matches, averaging 0.4 per game, while Cuiabá have conceded an average of 0.8 goals. Over the season, Avaí average 0.94 goals and 2.63 shots on target per match, clearly fewer than the hosts, who record 1.0 goal and 4.07 shots on target. Cuiabá have kept a clean sheet in 33% of their matches, and both teams scored in only 20% of their last 5 games. Although Avaí concede an average of 1.69 goals, which favors a goal for the hosts, their recent scoring form suggests they may fail to find the net themselves. Therefore, the more likely scenario is that at least one team will not score.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Cuiabá average 1.00 goals per match this season, but their xG is 1.47, while Avaí concede an average of 1.69 goals, giving the hosts a chance to improve their scoring record. The visitors’ attacking potential looks weaker: they have scored an average of just 0.4 goals in their last 5 matches, while Cuiabá have conceded 0.8. Despite Avaí’s weaker defense, Cuiabá’s matches have finished Under 3.5 goals in 93% of cases, compared with 75% for the visitors’ matches. The estimated total of 2.33 goals supports the Under 3.5 goals pick, which is better supported by the data than the lower 2.5 goals line.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

A draw at half-time is the most likely outcome: Cuiabá were level at the break in 53% of their matches, while Avaí were level in 56%, or 9 of 16 games. The hosts average 0.4 goals in the first half, while the visitors have been level at half-time in 4 of their last 5 matches, so an early Cuiabá lead is far from certain. The hosts’ advantage looks clearer after the break: they averaged 1.0 goal in the second half across their last 5 matches, while Avaí conceded 1.4 and failed to score. Cuiabá have won 3 of their last 5 matches, while Avaí have lost 4, making a half-time draw followed by a home win the strongest HT/FT scenario (X/1).
