Madureira RJ vs Resende Prediction: Both Teams Struggling in Carioca Serie A

In the upcoming fixture of Campeonato Carioca Serie A, Matchday 8, Madureira RJ will take on Resende at the Aniceto Moscoso Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Going in the match pressure will be on Resende, which is near the relegation border line. However, with three matches to go we can expect teams making late progress in the contest. Madureira RJ has also secured a single win in the contest and stands 8th with just 6 points. Considering the goal difference and overall points, Madureira can rise up to the top 6 standings at least. 

Madureira RJ - Coming off a Defeat Against Bangu (LDWLL)

Going in the matchup, Madureira is coming off a defeat against Bangu (1-0) and a draw previously against Portuguesa RJ (1-1). For the game against Resende, Madureira will be confident, as when the last time these two sides played Madureira won 1-0. Drawing our statistics to the last 5 games played in the contest, Madureira’s goal scoring average is just 0.60 goals per game, which certainly isn’t enough to win games. The win over Boavista (0-2) is the only feather in Madureira’s run in the season so far. With a goal scoring average of 0.75 goals in the last 12 games against Resende, Madureira will look to invest itself fully and register its second win.

Resende - Lost to Vasco da Gama Brutally (LDLWL)

Resende lost to Vasco da Gama (5-0) brutally in the last outing. However, the loss for Resende was predicted, but the scoreline wasn’t expected to be completely one-sided. Moving forward Resende has demonstrated a decent goal-scoring average against Madureira, averaging 1 goal per game in the last 12 played. Resende also averages 0.6 goals per game in the last 5 games played, which makes the upcoming contest a well-matched one. However, the away pressure is likely to test Resende.
