March 2nd features a match where Vila Nova and Rio Branco will play a match in Rio Branco in a meeting of these two Copa do Brasil teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 29 degrees, which hopefuly doesnt affect the pace of the match. Rio Branco has not played yet this season, while in their last match, Vila Nova recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Vitória. Eder Monteiro Miranda da Silva struck first for Vila Nova in the %Minute minute of the %HalfNumber half’s stoppage time, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Vitória couldn’t manage to score, and Vila Nova took the shutout win. Vila Nova should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Vila Nova’s top weapon lately has been Alesson, who has three goals in the last 5 matches.
