Ponte Preta vs Novorizontino: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Campinas won Serie C last season. But now they increasingly risk heading straight back down—they are performing very poorly. In May, they even suffered four defeats in a row, and at least started the summer with a draw. But after that, they lost to both Cuiabá and Juventude.
The team from São Paulo finished seventh in 2025 with 60 points. Currently, they're holding steady at about the same level, among the mid-table teams, but managed to put together an unbeaten run by late spring. They even managed to beat Goiás, and then played out a spectacular 2-2 draw with Náutico afterwards.
The newcomer is now managing to score 0.77 goals per game, conceding 1.92. Grêmio from São Paulo, with 1.54 goals scored, concedes exactly one per match in return.
