Brusque are valued at 3.75 odds to win against Novorizontino. The away side have had a better year than the hosts and are likely to pick up a positive result here, so backing them to win or draw (+0.5) is a very good bet in this fixture.

Novorizontino hosts Brusque at the Estadio Dr. Jorge Ismael de Biasi on Thursday in the 17th round of the Brazilian Serie B.

Brusque have had a good season by their standards. They are currently 10th in the league and sit above their opponents, Novorizontino. The visitors are just six points away from the top four and a win would cut that gap to three, but they would be keen to avoid a loss.

The away team have avoided defeat three times in the last four games, winning two and drawing one game. They have also kept three clean sheets in the last four games, conceding just two goals in that period.

Novorizontino are not in great winning form. They have lost four of their last six games, conceding eleven goals and keeping just two clean sheets in that period.

The hosts come into this game on the back of a 3-1 loss away to Nautico. They conceded three goals in the first half but got a consolation goal through Cleone Silva.

Both teams have conceded an average of 1.19 goals per game, but Brusque have a better clean sheet record with six clean sheets in sixteen games compared to Novorizontino's record of two league clean sheets.

Considering the strength and recent performance of these teams, an away win is the most possible winning outcome, but there is a good chance that this game ends in a draw, so betting on the visitors to win or draw (+0.5) is the best available option in this game.
