Criciúma Vila Nova betting prediction

After 4 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses, the home team is in the 18^th position, havinf won 17 points so far. In the last match, they have tied in an away match against CRB by (0‑0), after in the previous match they have won (2‑1) at home, against Londrina. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. In the last 8 home league matches Criciúma has a record of 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 12 points out of 24 possible.

They haven’t lost any of the last 6 home matches for this competition. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 5 of their 17 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Criciúma have won the Brazilian Championship Series B twice over their history, being the most recent title won in 2002. In this year's Campeonato Catarinense, the team finished in fourth place and did not reach the final, having a very irregular campaign in the state championship. In Serie B of the Brazilian Championship, the team have been trying to leave the last positions, being today two points behind the first team outside the relegation zone. In the last five games that Criciúma played at home, in four of them they suffered goals. We believe that in this confrontation Criciúma, although have been achieving good results at home, will again suffer goals, since they will face a strong team, that is among the first placed.

Confirmed Lineup: Juninho Beliato, Jacy, Marlon, Carlos Eduardo, Eduardo Biasi, Liel, Alex Maranhão, Jean, Marlon Freitas, Nicolas, Vitor Feijão.
