Vila Nova vs Novorizontino prediction 30.05.2025 | Serie B

• Competition: Serie B
• Date: Friday, 30th May 2025
• Kickoff: 23:00 UK / 00:00 CEST
• Venue: Estádio Onésio Brasileiro Alvarenga (Goiânia)

Vila Nova are playing better than they expected this season. Most pundits saw them as a mid-table team, but after the first nine rounds, the team from Estadio Onesio Brasileiro Alvarenga collected 16 points, so they are only four points behind the league leader, Goias. The end of the season is too far, and Vila Nova shouldn't even think about promotion, but the good first few months are surely encouraging. 

Villa Nova's form slowed down recently as they lost three of the last four matches in all competitions. In the previous game, Villa Nova lost 1-0 on the road against Cuiaba. The guests finished the match with an xG of only 0.19, so it is no wonder they stayed empty-handed. 

Novorizontino have the same story as Vila Nova so far this season. They are also the team most expected to be in the middle of the Serie B, but the team from Novo Horizonte are only four points behind the league leader. The only difference compared to Vila Nova is that Novorizontino are playing better right now, as they have lost only one of the last four matches. In the previous game, Umberto Louzer's team won 3-1 at home against Paysandu PA. The home side finished the match with 63% ball possession and 11 shots on goal, more than the opponent, so they secured a convincing victory. 

Vila Nova vs Novorizontino pick: Under 2.5 goals

Vila Nova scored only two goals in the last four matches. On the other hand, Novorizontino allowed only two goals in the previous three games. We shouldn't expect more than two goals in the upcoming tie between these two teams.
