Paysandu
LLDDLL ⚠
Paysandu won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 3-1 Serie B loss in their previous game against Grêmio Novorizontino.
In that match, Paysandu managed 37% possession and 10 shots at goal with 4 on target. At the other end, Gremio Novorizontino had 22 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. Nathan Fogaça (27', 60', 82') scored for Grêmio Novorizontino.
It has been seldom in recent games where Paysandu have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Paysandu have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 11 goals on the way. Nonetheless, we will just have to wait and see if the trend shall continue on in this next game.
Their previous form shows that Paysandu:
- haven't beaten Criciuma in their last 2 league matches.
- haven't been defeated in their previous 2 home league matches.
- have not won at home in their last 4 league games. Things will have to change soon.
Criciuma
WLDLLL 📉
Following on from a loss in their previous game against Coritiba in Serie B competition, Criciuma and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.
In that game, Criciuma managed 48% possession and 17 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. At the other end, Coritiba had 11 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Vini Paulista (60') was the scorer for Coritiba.
The forward players for Criciuma have suffered from a shortage of goals over their last six encounters, netting the disappointing return of just 2. In those fixtures, Tigrão have also seen the collective goal aggregate against them equal 10.
Coming into this clash, Criciuma have not won away from home in their last 10 league matches. A poor run.

Team News: Paysandu
There aren’t many selection issues, with just one fitness concern for the Paysandu boss Luizinho Lopes to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. Edinho (Torn knee ligaments) misses out.
💭
Prediction
For this match, we think that Criciuma should be able to find the net against this Paysandu side, but that possibly won’t be enough to prevent defeat.
We’re expecting a close game with a 2-1 winning score for Paysandu at full-time. There looks to be little in this one.
