Novorizontino vs Ituano Prediction & Betting Tips (1 February)

Novorizontino have been cooking with gas on their own patch of late, winning eight and drawing one of their previous nine top-flight fixtures, not to mention outscoring their opponents by 14 goals to two along the way. Ituano, on the other hand, have found the going tough on the road of late, losing four of their last five trips, including one at this venue.

seven of the previous 12 Ituano away matches had been of the under 2.5 goals variety, and the coach charges are past masters at keeping things tight in Paulista. As for Novorizontino, all five of their home games have served up no more than two goals.

It has been quite an unusual experience to see Novorizontino both score and concede during the same 91 minutes in a Paulista fixture recently, with this happening just three times out of a possible 11. Given that only six of the previous 21 top-flight games involving Ituano have produced goals at both ends, at least one of the two keepers should pitch a shutout here.
