Criciuma
WWWWWW 🎯
Criciuma will be looking for a repeat result of the 0-1 Serie B success vs Grêmio Novorizontino.
In that game, Criciuma managed 52% possession and 10 shots on goal with 1 on target. The scorer for Criciuma was Diego Gonçalves (82'). At the other end, Gremio Novorizontino got 13 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target.
A common characteristic of more recent Criciuma games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.
Taking their previous sextet of clashes leading up to this one, in 5 of them a wager on BTTS would've been a loser.
Coming into this contest, Criciuma are unbeaten in their last 11 home league matches. A run that they'll hope to extend here.
Náutico
LLDLLW
Náutico will go into the match following a 2-1 Serie B win to defeat Londrina in their previous game.
In that match, Náutico managed 52% possession and 17 shots on goal with 4 on target. The only player to score for Náutico was Carlos (74'). On the other side, Londrina had 11 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Lacerda (82') was the scorer for Londrina.
The stats don’t lie, and Náutico have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 10 goals overall. In defence, Náutico have been far from perfect. That being said, time will tell whether that pattern will be sustained in this next game or not.
Ahead of this meeting, Náutico are without an away win for the past 5 league matches.

Team News: Náutico
Thanks to a mainly available group, there’s just the one fitness issue for the Náutico boss Hélio dos Anjos to contend with. Alemão (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out for this game.

Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Náutico have the capability to score a goal against this Criciuma outfit, but it possibly won’t be enough to avoid defeat.
Our tip is for a 2-1 victory for Criciuma by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. It really should be an interesting one.
