Over 1.5 goals at Vila Nova vs Sampaio Correa 8/15 for Thursday’s Serie B battle

Competition: Brazil Serie B

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 8/15 @ 888sport

Hoping to widen their buffer in the top-half of the Serie B table, Vila Nova will host Sampaio Correa late on Thursday night.

Starting with the hosts, managing to draw a line under their extended stalemate run last time out, Vila Nova will be desperate to build off of that result here. In their 25 Serie B matchups so far this season, they have recorded just three wins, 15 draws and seven defeats, scoring 16 and conceding 23 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 24, they open the midweek fixtures sat down in 18th and two points adrift of finding a route out of the relegation zone. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a much-needed 2-1 victory away at Nautico, that was the first win that Vila Nova are unbeaten in each of their previous seven Serie B matchups on the spin. However, it should also be highlighted, Thursday’s hosts have seen four of their last six home fixtures finish with over 1.5 goals.

As for the visitors, while Sampaio Correa might still find themselves battling it out in the top-half, they do have the feel of a side seeking some stability. In their 25 Serie B matchups so far this season, they have recorded nine wins, six draws and 10 defeats, scoring 30 and conceding 28 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 33, they open the midweek fixtures sat ninth in the standings and with just their goal difference keeping them in the top-10. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-1 loss at home against CRB, Sampaio Correa have managed to win just one of their previous five outings. However, it should be highlighted, with Thursday’s guests seeing 10 of their last 11 second-tier contests finish with over 1.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
