There is 1 period that stands out in the last 16 away matches for this competition: they have scored 7 of their 18 goals between minutes (76’ ‑ 90 ‘).
Vitória will play away from home and need to win to get away from the relegation zone. If he loses or draws this game, he can finish the day in the group of the last four classified, so the team needs to present a different position, with more technical quality and strength when scoring the rival defensively. The visiting team must bet on quick counterattacks to surprise Avaí and achieve a positive result.
PREDICTION: Under 2,5 goals @ 1,55
