Figueirense get ready to welcome Fluminense for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa do Brasil 3rd Round leg 1 of 2.
It's no vacation for neither Figueirense nor Fluminense as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Fluminense have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Figueirense form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Copa do Brasil for Figueirense, as the manager M. Lyra Coelho led his troops to eliminate Vitoria ES and Novorizontino, and reach the 3rd Round. Last season, Figueirense's Copa do Brasil journey ended in the 2nd round.The story so far in the Catarinense 1 for Figueirense at their home stadium (Estádio Orlando Scarpelli) is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat.
Pedro Lucas was the last player to score a league goal for Figueirense and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Figueirense haven't scored in 255 minutes. Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Sidney Aparecido Ramos da Silva not having conceded a league goal in 201 minutes.
An away draw last time out for Figueirense, facing Criciuma in a game that ended 0-0. Before that, Figueirense drew at home versus Chapecoense.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Catarinense 1 game versus Brusque in only four days. This game is also played here at Estádio Orlando Scarpelli.
Figueirense have scored 2 goals here in 4 league matches, a depressing statistic. Figueirense are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Orlando Scarpelli in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 4 matches.
Fluminense form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Moto Club MA and Botafogo PB in order to reach 3rd Round of Copa do Brasil. They also participated in Copa do Brasil last season. This ended in the 8th finals.Fluminense has been amazing away for a time now, winning four in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against Avai.
Fluminense go into this game after a win, the home game against Resende that ended 4-0. Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Botafogo PB in the Copa do Brasil.
As mentioned above, Fluminense was the only team on the pitch versus Resende in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
Fluminense has another fixture away, a Carioca 1 game, against Vasco da Gama in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
