Brasileirão Série B matchweek 20 fixtures: kick-off times, probable line-ups and our analytical prediction for every game.
Criciuma vs Nautico Recife
0–0🧠 Criciúma arrive in far more stable shape, with a promotion-leading defence and a strong run at Heriberto Hülse; the outlook points to a home win in a low-scoring game.
São Bernardo vs Ceara
3–4🧠 São Bernardo are the more likely side to take the initiative at home, but this looks set to be a tight game with under 2.5 goals.
America Mineiro vs Goias
1–0🧠 Goiás arrive in better shape on the strength of their campaign, recent form and attacking outlook, but they are likely to face a deep América-MG side with little room to take risks.
Londrina vs Novorizontino
1–4🧠 Novorizontino arrive in the stronger league position and generate more attacking volume, but the likeliest outcome is a narrow away win in a controlled-scoring game.
Sport Recife vs Cuiaba
1–1🧠 Sport have more routes to controlling the game at Ilha, but Cuiabá’s defensive profile and the low-scoring indicators point to a narrow home win.
Atletico Goianiense vs Operario-PR
3–1🧠 Atlético-GO have the territorial volume to control more of the game in Goiânia, but Operário-PR’s campaign and recent run point towards a low-scoring draw.
CRB vs Vila Nova
2–0🧠 CRB create more on paper and have home advantage, but their permissive defence leaves room for a more balanced and competitive Vila Nova; the main reading is an away win with over 2.5 goals.
Ponte Preta vs Athletic Club
1–1🧠 Athletic Club arrive with a far stronger defensive structure and momentum; the main reading is an away win in a match featuring no more than two goals.
Juventude vs Avai
1–0🧠 Juventude have the defensive base, momentum and home advantage to win a low-chance, tight-scoring game against an Avaí side under pressure from the relegation zone.
