The most recent clash (Feb 25, 2026) ended 0-1 in Rio Branco SP’s favor, while the 2025 encounter finished 1-1. Historically, Rio Branco SP have kept Francana at arm’s length, and that psychological edge could prove decisive.

League Table Positions

Rio Branco SP sit 12th in the overall Campeonato Paulista Série A3 standings with 16 points from 15 matches (4W, 4D, 7L). They have scored 13 goals and conceded 24. Francana are outside the top 12, indicating a lower position and poorer overall performance. Neither side features in the top eight home or away rankings, underlining their struggles this season.

Win Probability: Rio Branco SP or Francana?

We calculate the match outcome probabilities as follows:

• Rio Branco SP win: 45%
• Draw: 30%
• Francana win: 25%

These percentages are derived from the available stats. Rio Branco SP’s superior head-to-head record (2 wins, 2 draws, 0 losses), slightly better recent form, and higher league position give them the favorite tag. However, their home form is unconvincing, and Francana’s away struggles reduce the likelihood of an away win. The draw probability is elevated because both teams have shown low scoring outputs and defensive vulnerabilities. Overall, Rio Branco SP are the more likely winners, but the match could easily end level.
