Vila Nova have had a mixed run lately, winning a couple of games but also losing a few. Juventude have been harder to beat recently, with a win and a couple of draws in their last few matches. Neither team is on a really strong streak, so both come into this one looking fairly even.

When these two have met recently, the games were tight and low-scoring, usually decided by a single goal. Because both teams look evenly matched and their recent games haven't been full of goals, this one shapes up as a close, cagey contest. It looks like a draw is the most likely outcome, with a narrow Vila Nova win also possible.
