Bitesize Prediction: Guarani vs Tombense – 17/09/23

Competition: Brazil Serie B

Market: Guarani win

Odds: 7/10 @ 1xBet

Hoping to extend their buffer in the promotion places on Sunday night, Guarani will welcome Tombense to the Brinco de Ouro.

Starting with the hosts, eventually having to settle for just a top-half finish last season, Guarani have certainly come roaring back this time around. Only continuing to gain a string of plaudits and riding what has been an extended wave of momentum, the Bugre find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Last seen earlier in the month landing a gritty 1-0 victory away at Chapecoense, Umberto Louzer’s side now find themselves tipped as a leading promotion contender in 2023. Opening this weekend’s fixtures holding a two-point buffer from slipping out of the top-four, the Sao Paulo-based outfit will be desperate to lay down another marker here. With their recent purple patch highlighted by a 3-1 romp against Sport Recife on August 19th, Guarani have mustered 10 points from their previous four Series B showdowns. It should also be noted, Sunday’s hosts have lost one of their last 13 second-tier showdowns – a run that stems all the way back to July 4th.

As for the visitors, last seen putting in a season-best performance as they landed a crucial 3-0 victory at home against ABC, Tombense will be desperate to spring a major upset here. However, opening Sunday’s showdown still battling it out in the drop zone and three points adrift of Serie B safety, Marcelo Chamusca’s side have gained a reputation for their extended inconstancies this season. Despite drawing a line under their eight-match winless run, the Minas Gerais-based outfit should also be concerned by their nightmare record on the road. Slumping to an action-packed 4-2 loss at the hands of Avai on August 19th, it should be noted that Tombense have collected just a single point from their previous five Serie B showdowns away from the Almeidao. Likewise, hit with a 2-1 defeat when they last travelled to the Brinco de Ouro 13 months ago, we are expecting a similar outcome on Sunday night.
