Audax Rio Nova Iguaçu betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 11^th position, with 1 point won, after 1 draw and 2 losses. In the penultimate round, they have lost an away match against Fluminense by (1‑0). In the last round, they have lost an away match against Flamengo by (5‑0). In the last 10 away matches Nova Iguaçu has won 3, tied 2 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 12 of the last 29 matches have ended ended with Under 1,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 2 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in all of those 2 matches but have never been able to hold on to the lead until the end of the 90'. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 3 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Nova Iguaçu comes for the fourth round of the Carioca Championship worried about not having managed to win in the competition. In the last round, Nova Iguaçu was thrashed by 5-0, but facing Flamengo away from home. After having drawn with Volta Redonda in the first round, Nova Iguaçu faced Fluminense and Flamengo away from home and, inevitably, lost both. Therefore, even returning to play in enemy territory in this fourth round, Nova Iguaçu arrives with the expectation of being able to add points in the competition again. That's because Nova Iguaçu faces Audax Rio, which is a team with which it matches and can even be considered stronger. It is worth remembering that Nova Iguaçu was runner-up in the Rio Cup last year, having played in Series D of the Brazilian Championship (which is disputed by the teams with the best performances in state competitions). This year, despite having undergone a cast overhaul, the team is able to fight for a spot in the Rio Cup.
