Bitesize Prediction: Operario vs Novorizontino – 23/06/25

Competition: Brazil Serie B

Market: Novorizontino double chance

Odds: 2/3 @ 1xBet

Looking to skyrocket themselves to the top of the Serie B standings, Novorizontino will travel to the Germano Kruger late on Monday night when they meet Operario.

Starting with the hosts, while Operario might have got May underway in the midst of a stellar Serie B flurry, Rafael Guanaes’ side have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion. Last seen falling to a 2-1 loss away at Athletic Club, the Parana-based outfit have come tumbling down the table and they have the feel of a squad desperately seeking a much-welcomed boost. However, facing what will certainly be another stern examination on Monday night, the Whites have collected just a sole point from any of their previous four Serie B appearances. Likewise, watching their Copa do Brasil adventure come to an end last month at the hands of Vasco, Guanaes’ camp have also shown some worrying defensive issues. Including another 2-1 loss against Remo on June 8th, Operario have shipped at least a pair of goals in five of their previous seven matchups across all competitions.

As for the visitors, while Operario might find themselves at the heart of a recent wobble, Novorizontino are enjoying what has become quite the purple patch. Despite eventually falling short last season as they missed out on a famous Serie A return, the Sao Paulo-based outfit are riding a major wave of momentum. Last seen putting in another dominant display as they cruised their way to a routine 3-0 romp at home against Cuiaba, Eduardo Baptista’s side have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across Brazil’s second-tier. Including a 3-1 win against Paysandu last month, Novorizontino have won their previous five straight Serie B showdowns by an aggregate score of 10-1 and they have skyrocketed themselves up the table. Knowing that they can climb to the top of the pile on Monday night, the former CSA boss has also seen his squad suffer just a single Serie B defeat on their travels so far this season.
