Ituano host Figueirense at the Estadio Municipal Doutor Novelli Junior in Itu in what shapes up as a mid-table battle in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C 2026 Regular Season. Ituano sit third on 17 points from nine games, one point clear of Figueirense in 13th on 14 points from ten outings. The gap on the table flatters Ituano slightly, given Figueirense have played one more game, but the home side’s superior goal difference and home advantage make them the clear favourite here. One detail worth flagging: Figueirense beat Ituano 2-0 in the only head-to-head on record, a Série C 2025 clash where the odds also favoured Ituano. That result is a reminder that Figueirense can punch above their perceived weight.
Ituano’s attacking midfielder pairing will be key to breaking down a Figueirense side that has conceded 14 goals in ten matches. On the visitors’ side, the forward who scored in the win over Floresta EC is one to track, given Figueirense have now won two of their last three after a patchy run.
Hot stat: Figueirense have won their last two matches, beating Paysandu (2-1) and Floresta EC (2-1), both sides ranked higher in the standings than Ituano’s recent opponents, which makes their current form arguably more meaningful than their league position suggests.

Ituano vs Figueirense Prediction
Ituano enter this match with a 50% winrate across their last 30 days and a form string that reads mixed but productive at home. Their season record of 16 wins from 32 matches is the stronger of the two sides. Figueirense have won just 10 from 25 this year, a 40% winrate that reflects a team still finding consistency. Playing at home, Ituano should control the tempo, and their ability to score three against Guarani, the league leaders, is a genuine marker of quality.
Figueirense’s negative goal difference of -4 on the road is a concern, and their 14 goals conceded in ten league games this season is among the higher tallies in the division. We predict Ituano to win this match, with goals likely at both ends given both sides have shown attacking intent in recent weeks.
Both teams carry some defensive vulnerability. Figueirense lost to Itabaiana, one of the weakest sides in the division, which signals inconsistency at the back. Ituano dropped points against SER Caxias and drew with Itabaiana, so they are not flawless either. A competitive, open match is the most probable scenario here.
- We predict Ituano to Win as the primary selection.
- Over 2.5 goals looks viable given both teams’ recent scoring records.
- Both Teams to Score Yes carries value, as Figueirense have scored in four of their last five matches.

Team Analysis
Ituano’s last five matches paint a picture of a side capable of beating quality opposition but prone to the odd slip. Their standout result was a 3-1 victory over Guarani, the current league leaders with a world club ranking of 598. That win showed Ituano can press high and convert chances against organised defences. They followed it with a 1-0 win over Botafogo PB before losing to SER Caxias 1-2, a result that dented momentum. The most recent outing was a 2-2 draw with Itabaiana, a side sitting 19th in the table, which is a result Mazola Júnior will not have been happy with. Still, across the five games, they scored eight goals, which is an output that places them among the more productive sides in this phase.
Figueirense have shown a different kind of consistency, grinding out results against sides with genuine quality. Their 2-1 win over Paysandu, who sit fourth and have a 40% win rate, was followed immediately by another 2-1 over Floresta EC. Before that run, they dropped a 0-1 to Itabaiana at home and drew 0-0 with Confianca, which shows the inconsistency Raul Cabral is still managing. Their win over Amazonas FC, a side that had won five of their previous ten, further confirms that Figueirense can compete when motivated. The concern is their defensive record: conceding 14 goals in ten matches is a number that will be tested by Ituano’s attack.
The only recorded head-to-head between these two sides ended in a 0-2 Figueirense win during the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C 2025 Regular Season. Ituano were favourites that day too, with bookmakers giving them a 47% win probability, yet Figueirense delivered a clean sheet and two goals. That result is a data point worth respecting, even if form and league position now lean more clearly toward Ituano.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Ituano the Favourite
- Moneyline Ituano 1.95 | Figueirense 3.70
- Draw 3.10
Ituano at 1.95 is a relatively short price for a home side in the third tier, but it is justified given their league position, home advantage, and superior season winrate. Figueirense at 3.70 carries value only if you factor in their head-to-head upset and their recent back-to-back wins. The draw at 3.10 aligns with the bookmakers’ 29% probability and is not one we chase here, as both sides have shown a preference for decisive results in recent weeks. To be honest, Ituano’s price is close to fair, and we would not stretch beyond it for a single-line bet without combining it with goals markets.
Possible Starting Lineups
Ituano Possible Starting Eleven

- GK: Jefferson Paulino
- DF: Léo Conde, Rafael Pereira, Claudinho, Lucas Ramon
- MF: Kaio, Thiaguinho, Gabriel Barros
- FW: Aylon, Nicolas, Vinícius Paes
Ituano under Mazola Júnior typically set up in a 4-3-3 that transitions into a 4-5-1 out of possession. The three forwards press high collectively, and the wide midfielders provide width on the counter. Nicolas and Aylon are the names to watch in attack, as both have contributed to Ituano’s eight goals across their last five matches. The defensive line has been solid enough to keep clean sheets against Botafogo PB and Confianca, suggesting the back four is settled and organised.
Figueirense Possible Starting Eleven

- GK: Rodolfo
- DF: Alemão, Maurício, Everton, Douglas
- MF: Rômulo, Guilherme Queiróz, Matheus Oliveira
- FW: Elias Curzel, Léo Gamalho, Willians
Figueirense under Raul Cabral tend to operate in a compact 4-3-3 that shifts to a 4-4-2 when defending deeper against stronger home sides. Léo Gamalho is the focal point of their attack, a physical forward who holds the ball well and draws fouls in dangerous areas. Rômulo provides the defensive midfield screen that allows the wide players to press. Figueirense will look to stay compact early and exploit any defensive lapses from Ituano on the break, a pattern that served them well in the 2025 head-to-head.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Ituano are the right side to back here. Their home record, superior season winrate, and the quality of opponents they have beaten, including league leaders Guarani, all point to a side capable of taking three points in front of their own fans. Figueirense are in better form than their league position suggests, and their 2-0 win over Ituano in 2025 is a legitimate warning, but their defensive frailty across this season is a persistent problem that Ituano’s attack should expose.
We predict Ituano to win, with goals on both ends making the Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes markets the most attractive complements. The home side’s attacking output of 15 goals in nine league games, versus Figueirense’s 14 conceded in ten, sets up a scenario where Ituano score at least twice while Figueirense find one on the counter. A 2-1 or 3-1 scoreline would not surprise us at all.
