The team has as a big problem the inefficiency of their attack, which scored only 4 goals in 6 rounds and is the third worst in the championship, but their defense, on the other hand, suffered only 3 goals and is the third best, being a team that leaves few spaces, allows few completions, but has a very low offensive volume, creating few scoring opportunities. At home, the West made only 2 games, of which it won 1 and tied 1. It should be noted that these 2 games had a maximum of 2 goals, with the West having the third strongest defense as a visitor, with only 1 goal suffered in 2 games. For the showdown with Figueirense, coach Renan Freitas will not be able to count on midfielder Lidio and striker Bruno, both for suspension, further diminishing his already low offensive power.

Figueirense is doing a somewhat irregular campaign in Serie B, but comes from a good victory in their stadium, has only 1 loss in the 6 rounds played and is looking for another positive result to try to enter the zone of access to the first division. The team’s main problem is the inefficiency of their attack, which marked only 4 goals in 6 games and is the third worst in the championship, but the defense has performed well, suffered only 4 goals and is the fourth best, being a team that he finishes little, he has difficulties in the creation sector, but he manages to close himself well, allowing few opportunities for goals to the rivals. As a visitor, Figueirense has encountered difficulties, accumulates 2 draws and 1 defeat and most worrying is that he did not score any goal away from his domains, being a team that falls even more offensive performance in the status of visitor.
