Figueirense:
After 4 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses, the home team is currently in 10th position, with 18 points won. In their last game, they tied with Criciuma out by (1‑1), after in the previous match they lost by (0‑1) at home, in a match against Paraná. This is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, it presents similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 matches it records 4 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses as a visitor, with 11 goals scored and 8 suffered; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses in his stadium, with 19 goals scored and 13 suffered.

In 12 games in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 4 times and never got the comeback.
The Figueirense is in the middle of the leaderboard and this is due to the fact that it is oscillating a lot between good and bad results. In this next round, the home team will have a good chance to score points, as it will face a less qualified team than its own. In the last round, Figueirense achieved a draw away from home with Criciúma, for 1×1. The coach must not have significant absences for this match.
Vitória :
The visiting team is currently in 17th position, with 10 points won, after 3 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, he lost out against Londrina by (3‑1). In the last game, he won at home against Ponte Preta by (2‑1). This is a stronger team with the support of their fans, since in the last 30 games they record 1 win, 7 draws and 7 losses as a visitor; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in his stadium. In its last 6 games as a visitor to the championship Vitória records 1 draw and 5 losses, so it conquered 1 point in 18 possible.
For this competition, he did not win any of the last 6 away matches. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 9 of the last 10 games, so he has not presented great defensive solidity, but his attack has scored regularly, since he scored goals in 7 of the last 10 games for this competition. In 12 games in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 6 times, but got the comeback in 2.
Until now, Vitoria is within the relegation zone, so it will be important to be able to show a better soccer field from now on. Acting away from home in this next game, Vitória’s team will have to take a rabbit out of the hat to be able to surprise and thus achieve a good result. In the last round, Vitória won a home victory against Ponte Preta, by 2×1. The coach must present in the field the best starting eleven available.
