Struggling Figueirense will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Juventude in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Figueirense have less rest than Juventude in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Serie B game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus CRB, was also a home game here at Estádio Orlando Scarpelli. The away team is better rested.
Figueirense form and stats
2-4-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Figueirense so far this season.
The Figueirense goalkeeper Sidney Aparecido Ramos da Silva is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the Serie B.
Figueirense's last game was hosting CRB (placed 10th) and winning 2-0.
The Figueirense fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Figueirense have only conceded 5 from their league home games.

Juventude form and stats
Playing away, Juventude, who have the most scored goals (25) in Serie B, have won 3 games, drawn 2 and suffered 3 defeats in the Serie B this season.
Juventude have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Marcelo Henrique Passos Carne. It's been 256 minutes since they last conceded in Serie B.
Impressive finishing from Dalberto and Breno (2) secured the home win 3-0 against Avaí in their previous game. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Cruzeiro that ended 0-0.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Juventude manager L. de Oliveira Preto as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Grêmio.
The travelling fans enjoy Juventude's attacking play in away games, having scored 13 goals in 8 league matches away. Juventude have conceded 12 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Figueirense, four draws and two wins for Juventude. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Top Goalscorers
