CRB vs Paysandu - Hosts definitely need the points to keep their promotion hopes alive, they are in better form and have head-to-head edge in this fixture. The visitors appear to be safe from relegation and could be tempted to relax and begin planning for next season by trying out some other players - but they've remained competitive in recent games especially defensive consistency. CRB themselves tend to play conservative at home. I feel Under 2.5 goals could be safer and offers a better return.

Match ended: CRB 0-1 Paysandu

What about tomorrow two home wins - Ceara and Parana? Ceara still have some chance for go to Serie A and Parana fighting for avoid relegation. Both need wins. 

Ceara has some serious selection issues. Key striker Alele is doubtful with muscle discomfort; his absence would be a major concern as he has been the main source of goals for the team (three goals in the last four games) and Coach Sergio Soares will have few options to replace him. Defender Charles is also doubtful.

Parana's chances of a home win are higher. Four first-team players return for this game: Goalkeeper Marcos and midfielder Nadson return from injury, while defender Leandro Silva and striker Lucio Flavio return from suspension. Moreover, Criciuma only plays to end the season with dignity and also misses key striker Niltinho.

 

Matches ended: Ceara 2-3 Vila Nova

                          Parana 1-2 Criciuma

Luverdense vs Goias

Both teams have no chance of promotion and are safe from relegation. But this is Luverdense's last home game of the season and seeks to maintain their unbeaten home run in this second phase of the season (eight wins and one draw). They also seek to be in the top ten at the end of the season, but their last game in the next round is away to tricky CRB. For this game, home Coach Junior Rocha misses central midfielder Jean Patrick to suspension.

Goias appears to be in farewell/holiday mood and simply seeks to end the campaign (next Tuesday against relegated Sampiao) with dignity. Club president is seeking to renew the contract of Coach Gilson Kleina, who arrived at the club in September, and thereafter begin modeling the squad for next year. Team comes from a frenetic 3-2 home win against relegation battling Joinville last friday; following which it is now missing three players in today's game.  Despite a long and tiresome journey to Lucas do rio Verde, Coach Kleina still promised a strong, organized and competitive game.

Hosts simply have better motivation against tired and holiday-thinking visitors. Home win.

Paysandu vs Criciuma

The game is virtually a friendly, with both teams safely in mid-table, with no risk of relegation nor hope of promotion. Though host Coach Dado Cavalcanti wants to do well in this last home game of the season, in front of an expected good crowd as the club has been doing a promotion for the game; he has admitted that after the team ensured safety from relegation, he has struggled to motivate the players in the past few weeks.

Criciuma come into this game in good form, with two consecutive wins - the latest a 1-0 home win against Vasco Da Gama. Thus, they seek a third straight victory with the mission of improving their classification, currently at 11th spot - just outside the top ten. Coach Roberto Cavalo will maintain the scheme of using three defenders, which proved successful recently. Absences include first choice goalkeeper and captain Luiz, key midfielder Douglas Moreira, striker Jheimy and midfeielder Barreto - all out on suspension.

This is more likely to be a quiet game, with players keen to avoid an embarrassing defeat, careful to avoid injury and looking forward to a peaceful vacation. Both teams are likely to play tight, without risk. Under 2.5 goals.

Joinville vs Vila Nova

Hosts have momentum in their desperate battle against relegation, following last weekend's 2-0 away win against direct rivals Oeste. But they play this last and key match of the season in an empty stadium - punished for their fans' behavior in the derby against Avai. But they are in a must-win situation, otherwise they face relegation; and they have to attack.

Vila Nova have been playing well lately, especially away from home; with their games involving goals - scoring and conceding. But for this game, they are severely depleted in the midfield - meaning they cannot use a defensive and counter-attack strategy; but have to press and hold the ball in the opponents' offensive sector. This is the last game for Coach Guilherme Alves and some players who may seek other clubs; so they will seek to have a positive end to the season.

Home win and Over 2.5 goals.

Atletico-Go vs Bahia

Hosts are are already confirmed as title winners and will receive the title after this game. The team seeks to end the season with a good performance to avoid spoiling the party mood. And they are likely to continue with the offensive game displayed in the run-up to the end of the season.

Bahia need at least a draw in this game to ensure promotion to Serie A. They have displayed offensive and open play in the last two games. Coach Guto Fereira has all his squad available. But he appeared to emphasize total concentration in the training sessions prior to this game and is likely to repeat his more cautious/defensive scheme to contain the hosts in this decisive match. Under 2.5 goals.
