Caxias secured an 83-66 victory over Osasco in their last match, shooting an efficient 52% from the field and 41% from three. They controlled the second half decisively, winning the third quarter 26-19 and closing the fourth 25-9. Rafa led with 18 points, while Shamell Stallworth added 15 and Augusto Cabral Leao contributed 12 points and 7 assists.
Caxias average 72.6 points per game on 41.6% shooting this season, with 8.4 made threes per contest at 31.3%. Their offense can stagnate in half-court settings, reflected in a modest 16.6 assists per game and a 1.2 assist-to-turnover ratio. Defensively, they concede 76.8 points per game, which keeps them competitive but not dominant.
At home, tempo control will be critical. If Caxias can replicate their recent perimeter efficiency and limit second-chance opportunities, they can offset their scoring limitations. However, sustained shot creation remains a concern against higher-efficiency offenses.
Like Caxias, Uniao Corinthians defeated Osasco in their last outing, winning 83-79, shooting 50% from the field and 38% from three while converting 79% at the line. Jeremy Hollowell posted 18 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, with Nathaniel Barnes adding 17. Despite being out-rebounded 34-47, their shot efficiency proved decisive.
On the season, Uniao average 79.1 points per game on 45.5% shooting, clearly superior to Caxias in overall efficiency. They also average 18.4 assists and hold a slightly better 1.3 assist-to-turnover ratio. However, defensively they allow 81.4 points per game, which leaves them vulnerable in slower, grind-it-out contests.
Over their last 10 games, they are scoring 81 per game with an average game total of 165, suggesting a higher-tempo profile. Offensively, they are better balanced and more consistent from mid-range and inside the arc. That scoring reliability gives them a measurable edge in tight fourth-quarter scenarios.

Caxias are chasing stability in the mid-table race. Home court at Ginasio do Sesi provides situational value, particularly after a convincing 17-point win last time out. Their defensive structure is marginally stronger on paper, conceding 76.8 per game compared to Uniao’s 81.4, which could help them control pace.
However, Uniao Corinthians hold the statistical advantage in scoring average, field goal percentage and recent offensive form. They shoot nearly four percentage points better from the field and have averaged 10 more points per game across the last 10 outings.
Against a Caxias offense that averages just 71 in recent form, that efficiency gap is significant. If Uniao maintain shot selection discipline and neutralize transition opportunities, their superior offensive balance should translate into late-game control.
Uniao Corinthians are 11th in the NBB standings with a 14-13 record and a 0.519 win percentage after 27 games. Caxias do Sul sit 13th at 12-15 with a 0.444 win percentage. Both teams are positioned in the lower mid-table cluster, making this matchup relevant for positioning stability.
Uniao Corinthians have won the last five meetings. The average total across those games is 151 points. In head-to-head scoring over the last 5 meetings, Caxias average 77 points while Uniao average 74, indicating generally competitive margins with moderate totals.
| Player Name | Points | Rebounds | Assists | Steals/Blocks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shamell Stallworth | 11.9 | 3.1 | 2.6 | 0.6/0.1 |
| Jeremy Hollowell | 15.7 | 7.8 | 3.9 | 1.0/1.0 |
Uniao Corinthians are favored to win based on superior scoring efficiency and stronger recent offensive production. While Caxias have home-court value and defensive competitiveness, Uniao appear better balanced entering this matchup.
