- Venue: Ressacada (Florianópolis)
Probably only Avai fans thought that their team will be at the head of the Brazilian Serie B after 13 league rounds. However, Santos, America MG, and Operario collected only one point fewer, so everything could change even in the next round. Avai are without a loss in the last 11 matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they played 1-1 at home against Amazones. Avai were significantly better, as they had 14 shots on the goal more than the opponent. However, Avai picked up only one point.
The Brazilian Serie B is very interesting this year, so Novorizontino on 11th position is only four points behind the league leader, Avai. Eduardo Baptista's team are playhing well lately with only one defeat in the last eight matches. In the previous game, they played 1-1 at home against Mirassol. Novorizontino struggled in that game, but still avoided defeat. A defensive performance like that will give them a lot of confidence ahead of the match against Avai.
Avai vs Novorizontino pick: Under 2.5 goals
Avai have a good defense. They allowed only four goals in the last seven matches. On the other hand, Novorizontino conceded five goals in the previous eight games. under 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.

Avai are very active at the summer transfer window as they already signed Vagner Love (who came from Atletico GO) and Cassiano (Estoril). On the other hand, Avai left Gustavo Simoes and Gabriel Poveda. We should expect a few more moves from the board to improve their chances of promotion.
