Figueirense is a team that has attended Serie A and is trying to return this year. The team is in third place and largely due to the great record playing at home. The stadium of Figueirense is small, which makes the fans closer and press a lot, the opponent, as the judge. The team has good offensive power, like the midfielders Maicon and Fernandes, two creative players who create several opportunities for the attackers. On offense, Reinaldo, a major player, will not play because it hurt but it will be replaced by Vinicius Pacheco, who came on loan from Flamengo and has previously played in the club, and I believe he will maintain the quality in attack.
Tough team to beat
Bragantino is a annoying team to beat when playing away from home, conceding few goals. Generally, only defend themselves, trying to tie. The team is fighting against relegation, and against a strong opponent like Figueirense, I believe that will keep the tactic of playing closed, exploring the counter-attacks. The team play with 3 defenders and defensive players in front of the defense. Finazzi, newly signed striker, will not play, suspended, and the team also will be without the defensive midfielder Luciano Sorriso.
Attack against defense
Figueirense will press because they need to win to stay close from promotion. Bragantino will play on counters but the problem is Bragantino don`t have good strikers, which makes them less effective in attack and against a team that has averaged less than 1 goal received when playing at home, this task becomes even more difficult. Figueirense is very strong at home, achieving 29 points at home, in 39 possible, and scoring an average of 2.54 goals per game at home. As soon as Figueirense score, Bragantino will not have response for that and will be easier for the home team.
