This analysis was prepared before kick-off. The conclusions use only information available before the match and do not include the final result or post-match statistics.

General match analysis

Novorizontino sit 3rd in the table, while Náutico are 13th, and over the season they have scored more goals (52 to 39) and conceded fewer (27 to 38). The visitors have also been more consistent over their last five matches: they scored 8 goals and conceded 4, compared with the hosts, who scored 8 but conceded as many as 10. Away from home, Novorizontino average 1.73 goals with a 13% shot conversion rate, compared with Náutico's 1.27 goals and 7% conversion rate at home. However, the hosts can point to a higher xG in home matches (2.08 versus the visitors' 1.46 away from home) and a 53% home win rate, so this is not a clear-cut favourite. Better finishing and stronger recent defensive results ultimately point to a narrow Novorizontino win.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

BTTS - Yes landed in 56% of Náutico’s matches and 47% of Novorizontino’s, but over their last five matches those rates rose to 80% and 60%, respectively. Both teams have recently averaged 1.6 goals scored per match, while Náutico have conceded 2.0 goals per game, increasing the visitors’ chances of finding the net. The hosts create chances worth an average of 2.04 xG, so despite Novorizontino keeping a clean sheet in 40% of their matches, they also have a strong case to score. The risk to the BTTS - Yes pick is that the visitors failed to score in 33% of their matches; however, their average of 1.73 goals scored and recent 2.23 xG suggest both teams will get on the scoresheet this time.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

At least two goals were scored in 75% of Náutico’s home matches and 67% of Novorizontino’s away matches, supporting the Over 1.5 goals pick. The hosts average 2.04 xG and 6.25 shots on target per match, so they should create chances consistently despite the visitors conceding just 0.87 goals on average. Novorizontino, meanwhile, average 1.73 goals away from home, while Náutico have conceded an average of 2.0 goals across their last five matches, increasing the likelihood of an away goal. A projected total of 2.64 goals points to at least two goals, but Novorizontino’s solid defending and the fact that only 19% of Náutico’s home matches featured at least four goals limit confidence in picks on higher goal lines.

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

A draw at half-time is the most likely outcome, as Náutico were level at the break in 63% of their matches, compared with 53% for Novorizontino. The teams’ first halves are similarly balanced: the hosts average 0.69 goals scored and 0.38 conceded, while the visitors average 0.67 and 0.40, respectively. Over the full match, the edge shifts to Náutico: their average xG is 2.04 against their opponents’ 1.46, and their win rate is 56% compared with 40%. A home win after the break is also supported by Náutico averaging 0.94 goals in second halves, with at least one goal scored in 13 of the 16 second halves involving them. However, X/1 is not a clear favourite, as Náutico conceded an average of 2.0 goals across their last five matches, while Novorizontino conceded just 0.8.
