Teams Preview

Unifacisa

Unifacisa suffered a 109-102 overtime loss to Paulistano in the previous outing. Despite the defeat, their offensive production remained competitive with balanced scoring across the roster. João Paulo, Jimmy de Oliveira, and Yohanner Sifontes each contributed 15 points in that contest, highlighting a system that spreads offensive responsibility rather than relying on a single scorer.

Across the season Unifacisa average 80.9 points per game while maintaining a solid defensive record, allowing just 80.3 points per game. Their shooting efficiency stands at 45.2% from the field with 32.1% accuracy from three-point range. Ball movement is another positive factor as they average 18.6 assists per game with a 1.3 assist-to-turnover ratio.

Defensively they limit opponents to 42.0% shooting and maintain steady rebounding numbers with 37.8 boards per game. Playing at Arena UNIFACISA should also provide added stability for a team currently positioned mid-table. If their perimeter shooting and passing rhythm remain consistent, Unifacisa have the tools to control the tempo of this matchup. 

Rio Claro

Rio Claro arrive after a close 77-74 win against Vasco, a result that highlighted their defensive resilience. Fermín Thygesen led the scoring with 20 points while also adding six rebounds and six assists, demonstrating his importance as the team’s primary offensive organizer. Guards like Gemadinha and interior presence from Matheus Bonfim further supported the effort with 17 and 15 points, respectively.

Offensively Rio Claro average 77.6 points per game, slightly below league-average scoring levels. Their shooting efficiency sits at 42.1% from the field and 31.1% from three-point range, which indicates a reliance on volume possessions rather than high efficiency. They compensate partly through rebounding activity, averaging 37.1 rebounds per game including 10.8 offensive boards.

Defensively the numbers are less stable. Rio Claro allow 86.8 points per game and opponents shoot 45.9% from the field against them. Although they average 3.5 blocks per game and maintain moderate steal production, defensive consistency has been an issue throughout the season. Against a structured offense like Unifacisa, maintaining defensive discipline will be critical to staying competitive.
