"Managing to make what was an essential return to winning ways last time out as they snatched a 2-1 victory away at Ferroviaria, Novorizontino know the importance of finding some much-needed stability. Despite getting Friday's showdown underway sat just a single point adrift of breaking into the promotion spots, Umberto Louzer's side have mustered just a single win from any of their previous eight Serie B appearances - a run that stems all the way back to a 1-0 victory against Goias."
"Getting Friday's showdown underway holding a five-point buffer from slipping into the relegation zone, Roger Silva's side are enjoying what has become a recent flurry. Last seen putting in a rugged performance as they secured a 2-0 victory at home against Botafogo, the Steel Squadron should find the mood in their camp at a real high. Signing off August with another 2-0 win away at Volta Redonda, Athletic Club have registered seven points from their previous three Serie B appearances."
Novorizontino returned to winning ways with a 2-1 victory at Ferroviaria but still sit just outside the promotion places and need consistency. The side have managed only one win in their last eight Serie B matches and have not recorded consecutive wins since mid-June. Home form has been problematic, with no wins in their last three matches at the Jorjao. Athletic Club prioritize avoiding relegation and begin the match with a five-point cushion above the drop zone. The visitors have collected seven points from their last three games, including consecutive 2-0 victories, and have shown strong defensive organization.
