On April 23rd, teams Vila Nova and Guarani will face each other in the first round of the Brazilian Serie B.
Vila Nova had put up a nice display in the Goiano league and only lost to Atletico Goianense in the final with an aggregate score of 1:5, having routed Aparecidense in the semis after a 0:2 defeat in the first leg, and Goianesia in the quarterfinals with an overall score of 3:2.
Vila Nova finished last season's Serie B at the 8th place in the league table with 61 points from 38 matches. They recorded 17 victories, 11 defeats and 10 draws with a goal difference of 49 scored and 30 conceded.
Guarani Campinas is holding the 14th place in the Paulista league with 10 points after 12 rounds, having won twice with a goal difference of 10:14, with 1 win and 3 draws in their last 5 league rounds. But Guarani previously had a run with 6 defeats in 7 rounds.
Guarani finished 10th in the Brazilian Serie B league table and needs to improve as they achieved 15 victories, marked 11 defeats and 12 draws from 38 matches in the season, earning 57 points with a goal difference of 42:33.
I'm backing Vila Nova to win as they currently play more confidently and haven't lost to Guarani in regular time for over 12 matches since 2013.
