This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie B, Figueirense holding 14th place and Guarani lying 17th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Figueirense form and stats
When playing at home in the Serie B, Figueirense, who have the fewest scored goals (3) in Serie B, have managed 0 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 4 games.
Figueirense are confident in defense, having played 205 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
A good away victory last time out for Figueirense, who won 1-0 against America Mineiro (placed 5th). A 0-0 draw away before that, with Cuiaba the opponent.
Manager E. Blumer felt very clever after Dudu scored the winning goal against America Mineiro, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 56th minute.
This is expected to be a close game, with Figueirense perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Figueirense as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Figueirense has won zero of these, drawn six and lost five.
There will be little rest for Figueirense after this match as they are travelling to Avaí for a Serie B game in only three days.
The lack of attacking qualities in Figueirense means that they have only scored 0 goals in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Defensively Figueirense have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (2 in 4 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Guarani form and stats
2 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Guarani playing as the away team in the Serie B this season.
Guarani are looking to quickly end their 221 minutes long goal drought in the Serie B.
There might be some fixture complaints from Guarani as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Serie B match against Confianca (0-1). Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Brasil de Pelotas.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Guarani playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three Guarani wins, three draws and four defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Guarani are hosting Sampaio Corrêa in the Serie B only three days away.
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Guarani have seen the ball go into their own net 5 times on the road.
