Vila Nova FC vs Ponte Preta Prediction & Betting Tips (11 November)

The Brazilian Championship Series B is coming to an end and this weekend game there will be a clash that could shake up both ends of the table. This Friday, September 15, 2023, Vila Nova, with its sights set on the G4, will host Ponte Preta, which is on the yellow card and cannot afford to make any mistakes so as not to get too close to the relegation zone. The ball will roll at 7 pm (Brasília time) at the Onésio Brasileiro Alvarenga Stadium, OBA, in Goiânia.

Vila Nova kicked off the 2024 Copa with an important 2-0 win over Atletico Gloriense and also benefited from Ponte Preta's draw with Tanabi. I expect Vila Nova to go all out for this game, they are in high spirits, and with a win they will be very close to qualifying and on track.

Ponte Preta entered this 2024 Copa with a goalless draw against Tanabi, a game that fell a little short of my expectations. I expect a game with greater dominance from Ponte Preta, with more effectiveness and a victory for Ponte Preta. I expect a change in attitude in the next game and even one or two changes in the starting eleven. Some players were even below their potential and are able to produce. Only a victory matters to them, because a draw or even a defeat could mean that they are no longer able to qualify for the next phase of the 2024 Copa.

• Vila Nova dreams of promotion and is in fifth place, with the same score as fourth
• Ponte Preta has five points to reach the Z4 and cannot afford to hesitate
• In the first round, Ponte Preta won 1-0
• Four of the last five head-to-head matches have ended in a draw
• Vila Nova has the best defense in the competition
• Ponte Preta has the worst attack in Serie B
