Brasileirão Série B — Matchweek 26
Brasileirão Série B matchweek 26 fixtures: kick-off times, probable line-ups and our analytical prediction for every game.
Nautico Recife vs Botafogo SP
1–0🧠 Náutico have the stronger case through home advantage, their unbeaten run and superior attacking output, but the outlook points to a narrow win in a low-scoring game.
Criciuma vs Cuiaba
2–0🧠 Criciúma hold a slight edge through home advantage, the more reliable defence and their league position, but the overall picture points to a low-scoring game.
Athletic Club vs Vila Nova
5–0🧠 Vila Nova have the structural edge and should control a low-scoring game, but home advantage and uncertainty over their line-up reduce the margin for a comfortable win.
CRB vs America Mineiro
3–1🧠 CRB hold a clear edge through home advantage, the stronger campaign and a favourable matchup against an América-MG side with limited attacking output; the main projection is a CRB win in a game with no more than two goals.
Goias vs Fortaleza EC
0–1🧠 The balanced market points to a tight game, but the strongest pre-match reading is a draw with a low-scoring bias.
Novorizontino vs Avai
3–1🧠 Novorizontino have the more consistent structure to win at home in a match expected to produce a controlled scoreline, with a slight lean towards under 2.5 goals.
Juventude vs Atletico Goianiense
2–2🧠 Juventude have the clearest case to win at home in a low-scoring match, with their defence likely to be the main controlling factor.
Ceara vs Sport Recife
2–1🧠 The statistical model sees Sport as more likely to win than the market does, but the low-scoring profile and Ceará’s home advantage make 0-1 the most balanced reading.
Londrina vs Operario-PR
1–2🧠 Operário-PR have the more stable season structure and could hold the edge in a low-scoring game, despite Londrina’s home advantage.
Ponte Preta vs São Bernardo
0–2🧠 São Bernardo have the structural edge, but the gap between the market and the model points to a narrow away win in a match with fewer than three goals.
