There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Serie D table so far. Here's the Caxias - Joinville latest:
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.
Caxias form and stats
Caxias, who have the fewest clean sheets (1) in Serie D, have collected 4 points from their Serie D home games so far after 1-1-2.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Caxias, who played 2-2 against Marcílio Dias. That match was also played at this venue (Estádio Francisco Stédile). 1-1 away at Novorizontino before that.
Opportunity lost for Caxias in the Marcílio Dias match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.
Caxias are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. Caxias have conceded 6 from these games.
Joinville form and stats

Two travels in a row for Joinville, whose manager F. dos Santos could celebrate last time after the Serie D win against Atlético Tubarão. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Sao Caetano.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Joinville's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 4 matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (3 so far).
