Marcílio Dias enters this fixture leading Group A16, having built their campaign on a highly organized defensive structure that has conceded just three times in seven matches.

Azuriz sit at the bottom of the table, severely hampered by an attacking unit that has managed only three goals across the entire tournament so far.

The home side has found their rhythm recently, winning four of their last five matches to establish a healthy gap at the top of the standings.

Away from home, Azuriz have consistently struggled to impose themselves, suffering three defeats in four road trips while failing to score in two of those encounters.

While the reverse fixture ended in a goalless draw, Marcílio Dias's recent attacking surge at home—highlighted by a dominant 4-1 victory over Brasil de Pelotas—suggests they have the tools to break down a resilient but limited Azuriz side.
