💭
Prediction
Our thinking is that Criciuma are likely to be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.
However, Operário Ferroviário will not find it easy to get a goal of their own although we do think that they will probably end up managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.
We’re therefore anticipating a fairly comfortable 3-1 win for Criciuma after 90 minutes.
