A defeat of the home team had odds of 2.20, which makes it clear that a close match was expected.

The Ituano team comes from a defeat in the Serie B, and its coach Alberto Valentim do Carmo Neto wants to counter this trend by imposing a loss on his opponent, using the advantage of playing at home.

The performances of Ituano in recent matches suggest that they are having difficulty scoring goals, with a low number of goals and a high number of matches where they failed to score. This indicates that their attacking play is not creating enough quality chances and needs improvement.
