Figueirense hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 40 points and a 16th position in the Serie B table. Visiting Operário PR holds 10th place with 49 pts.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Figueirense form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie B, Figueirense have managed 4 wins, 8 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 18 games. Figueirense has a nice streak going on as they have played eleven consecutive games without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Oeste defeat 56 days ago. The home supporters have been following results with a growing disbelief as Figueirense has racked up an amazing four draws in a row here at their own stadium. How long will this continue?

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 183 minutes without scoring a league goal. Guilherme was the last player to find the net. Figueirense are confident in defense, having played 240 minutes without conceding a goal.

Figueirense manager Pintado and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus CRB (placed 6th) in the Serie B. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Cuiaba.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Figueirense have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won 3 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.

Figueirense have scored 17 league goals here from 18 matches, not a lot. 21 goals have been conceded.

Operário PR form and stats

Operário PR have only collected 13 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 2-7-9 (18 played). Recent form does not give Operário PR much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Figueirense will be a tough nut to crack.

Operário PR failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie B home match vs Vitoria (placed 12th) that ended with defeat 1-2. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Guarani's place.

Operário PR are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of seven matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Operário PR as they have only managed to score 10 times from 18 away games in the league. 24 goals have been conceded by Operário PR in these games.
