Football Bet of the Day: Tigers in a fight with Big Red

Tobias Gourlay returns to domestic action with a game from Brazil's Serie B tonight

Vila Nova v Oeste
Wednesday 22:15

In San Marino last night, Russia went a little too easy on their hosts for our taste. The visitors won 5-0 to leave us a couple of goals short of our target.

We're in Brazil today for one of tonight's Serie B matches. It's the last match of the season for 18th-placed Vila Nova and we fancy they can go out with a bang - or at least a BTTS. The reverse fixture with 15th-placed Oeste finished 1-1, as did this fixture last season.

Since Rafael Toledo took charge of Vila Nova midway through this season, four of their six matches at Estadio Onesio Brasileiro Alvarenga delivered BTTS with the hosts notching in 4/6 themselves. The Tigers even found the back of the net in score draws with the teams now in third and fourth.

Visiting Oeste have won only 3/18 on their travels this term. However, the Big Red have scored in nine of the last 12 of those matches and we fancy they can find a way through a Vila Nova that has conceded in 9/10 on home turf. At the other end, Oeste have conceded in 14/18 on the road and they too look vulnerable.
