Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Barra will look to impose their style on home soil, while Brusque are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. Schalke had only 17 per cent of the possession but, having visited the club to interview their charismatic coach Miron Muslic, that is hardly a surprise.

The fixture features no shortage of talent, and the league's top marksman N. Schiappacasse — 3 goals this term — will be one to watch. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other. That was more than any midfielder or attacker in the Barcelona squad.

Predictions are tricky when the sides are this evenly matched, and small margins — a moment of quality, a slice of luck — could decide it either way. The numbers tilt towards Brusque, and a 1-2 away win looks the more probable outcome. Whatever the outcome, the Serie C fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs.
