Figueirense vs Oeste Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Monday’s late Brazilian Serie B kick off sees Figueirense take on Oeste. The hosts could really do with a win in this game after a poor last couple of matches, to continue their push for promotion.

Figueirense were one of the favourites to be promoted last season, but somehow almost got themselves relegated from the division instead. However this season they have had a much improved start, currently sitting in 6th place in the league. They have seen a dip in form recently though, picking up just 2 points from their last 3 games.

Furacão started off the season well at home, winning their first 2 home games but their form has slipped drastically since then. They have won just 1 of their last 5 at home, losing 3 and drawing 1. Their 3 wins have all come against sides in the bottom 6 of the league, while Oeste sit 11th, so will prove a tougher test.

Rubrão are looking to improve on their 6th place finish last season, but currently sit in 11 place after a disappointing start to the season. They have only lost 2 of their last 8 games though, winning 2 drawing 4 and losing 2.

Oeste’s away form has been a mixed bag, they were very impressive last time out as they beat the league leaders Fortaleza. However, before that they had picked up just 3 points from their previous 6, drawing 3 and losing 3.

Both teams have scored in 5 of Oeste’s 7 away games and they have conceded in all 7 away. Figueirense have seen both teams to score land in 6 of their last 8 league games, scoring in 7 and conceding in 7.

The stats suggest that Both Teams to Score is great value at well over even money. We think both sides will be quite evenly matched and see the game ending 1-1.
