It's game two of the Serie B season and everything to play for. Read our full preview of Figueirense-Vitória!
It's no vacation for neither Figueirense nor Vitória as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as Vitória have to travel 2600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Figueirense form and stats
Figueirense lost their last game at Operário PR (placed 2nd) after a 1-3 scoreline. Preceding that match was a Catarinense 1 defeat to Juventus SC (1-4).
Figueirense's goalkeeper Sidão was extremely busy against Operário PR, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning seven saves.
Last season, Figueirense's league statistics were 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, resulting in a 3rd position in the Catarinense 1. Over these nine matches they scored 8 goals and conceded 5. Playing at home last season Figueirense managed 2-2-1 (win-draw-lost) with 3 goals and 3 conceded.
Vitória form and stats
Thiago Carleto scored in Vitória's previous match, the home game against Sampaio Correa that ended 1-0. Ahead of that match was the Baiano 1 away draw versus Atlanta that ended 2-2.
Vitória has another fixture away, a Serie B game, against Ponte Preta in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Let's have a look at how Vitória performed last season in the Baiano 1: They landed a 5th position in the league table after playing out 3 victories, 4 draws and 2 defeats. In total they scored 13 and conceded 12 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 2 and lost 1 with 6/6 goals scored/conceded.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: three - two - three (Figueirense wins - draws - Vitória wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
