This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie B, Figueirense holding 17th place and Vila Nova lying 19th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Serie B match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Vitória.

Vila Nova have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Figueirense form and stats

Figueirense, who have the most conceded goals (20) at home in Serie B, have collected 17 points from their Serie B home games so far after 4-5-6.

The home team returns to Orlando Scarpelli after sharing the points with Vitória (placed 15th) on their last time out; the Serie B game ended 2-2. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Criciúma.

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.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Coritiba are coming to town in three days.

The Figueirense fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 15 matches. On the other hand, Figueirense have conceded 20 goals.

Vila Nova form and stats

The visitors, who have the fewest scored goals (23) in Serie B, are W5-D4-L7 on the road this term. That's in the Serie B. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Itamar Schülle, the Vila Nova manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Vila Nova failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie B home match vs Brasil de Pelotas (placed 11th) that ended with defeat 0-2. A 1-3 defeat away at Bragantino before that.

We have checked recent matches where Vila Nova have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those three games were W1-D1-L1.

After this away game Vila Nova return home for a Serie B game against Operário PR. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Vila Nova as they have only managed to score 14 times from 16 away games in the league. Vila Nova have conceded 19 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Vila Nova - Figueirense 0-0. Numbers for the last nine meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Figueirense, 2 draws and 4 wins for Vila Nova. Over 2,5 goals: 5 times; under 2,5 goals: 4 games.
