The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. CRB are in the 11th position while the guesting Figueirense worry at 18th.

Insights:
  • CRB has the fewest points from losing position (3) in Serie B
  • Figueirense have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Serie B game only four days ago.

These teams have little in common geographically as Figueirense have to travel 3100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Figueirense are struggling to avoid relegation.

Figueirense form and stats

Figueirense have only collected 14 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 3-5-9 (17 played). Figueirense seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Impressive finishing from Diego Gonçalves, Dudu Feitoza and Geovane Itinga secured the home win 3-0 against Brasil de Pelotas in their previous game. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Chapecoense's place.

It was a convincing performance from Figueirense when Brasil de Pelotas were beaten. The team "killed" the match in the first half leading 3-0 and the second half was comfortable. Diego Gonçalves, Dudu Feitoza and Geovane Itinga scored their goals.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Figueirense manager J. da Silva as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Juventude.

The visitors have scored 12 goals from 17 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Figueirense have seen the ball go into their own net 24 times on the road.
