Figueirense form and stats

The story so far in the Catarinense 1 for Figueirense, who have the most clean sheets (5) in Catarinense 1, at their home stadium (Estádio Orlando Scarpelli) is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat.

Figueirense are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 255 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Pedro Lucas). Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Sidney Aparecido Ramos da Silva not having conceded a league goal in 201 minutes.

A nice win for Figueirense last time playing, versus Fluminense. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Alemão scoring for the victors. Before that, Figueirense played out a Catarinense 1 draw 0-0 when visiting Criciuma.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Figueirense have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won zero, drawn five and lost four.

There will be little rest for Figueirense after this match as they are travelling to Fluminense for a Copa do Brasil game in only four days.

The lack of attacking qualities in Figueirense means that they have only scored 2 goals in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. From these home matches, Figueirense have conceded only 3 goals.

Brusque form and stats

The visitors, who have the most points (9) away in Catarinense 1, are W3-D0-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Catarinense 1. Brusque have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.

It's the second away game in a row for Brusque, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Brasil de Pelotas in the Copa do Brasil last time out. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Concordia in the Catarinense 1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Brusque playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were one Brusque win, four draws and four defeats.

After this away game Brusque return home for a Copa do Brasil game against Brasil de Pelotas. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Brusque have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 4 league away games 5 goals have been scored. Brusque's manager J. Testoni has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 2 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
