It's the second away game in a row for Figueirense, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus EC Sao Jose (placed 7th) in the Serie C last time out.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Ituano.The attacking power of Figueirense when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 8 league matches away.
