Brasileirão Série B — Matchweek 21
Brasileirão Série B matchweek 21 fixtures: kick-off times, probable line-ups and our analytical prediction for every game.
Operario-PR vs São Bernardo
1–3🧠 Operário-PR have the strongest platform to control the game in Ponta Grossa and win without the match necessarily becoming an open contest.
Ceara vs Ponte Preta
2–0🧠 Ceará have the home advantage and greater attacking volume to beat a Ponte Preta side in defensive collapse, but the hosts’ limited attacking output still points to a controlled scoreline below 2.5 goals.
Vila Nova vs Sport Recife
0–1🧠 Vila Nova hold a slight edge through home advantage, the more consistent campaign and the stability of their 4-2-3-1, but the profile points to a tight score against a Sport side likely to generate more attacking volume and keep the game balanced.
Botafogo SP vs America Mineiro
2–1🧠 Botafogo-SP have the clearer route to victory in Ribeirão Preto, but the match profile points to a controlled, low-scoring game.
Athletic Club vs Criciuma
2–0🧠 Criciúma arrive more consistent, especially without the ball, and hold a slight edge to win a low-scoring game in Minas Gerais.
Nautico Recife vs Atletico Goianiense
1–1Analysis in progress
Novorizontino vs Juventude
0–1🧠 Novorizontino have enough attacking volume to control territory at home, but Juventude’s defence and the low-scoring profile point to a narrow home win, if it comes.
Cuiaba vs Fortaleza EC
1–1Analysis in progress
Goias vs Londrina
1–0🧠 Goiás have the home advantage and the more stable form, but Londrina’s fragile defensive profile creates a clear path to a Goiás win in a game with three or more goals.
Avai vs CRB
0–1🧠 CRB bring significantly greater attacking output and better momentum, but Avaí’s low volume points towards an away win in a low-scoring game.
