Match begins: 22:15 (UTC)

Vila Nova hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 14 points and a 14th position in the Serie B table. Visiting Figueirense holds 9th place with 19 pts.

It's no vacation for neither Vila Nova nor Figueirense 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.

Figueirense 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.
