Ponte Preta
DLLLLL 🔻
Ponte Preta won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 2-0 Serie B losing effort in their last game against Fortaleza.
Maílton (84') scored for Fortaleza.
A recurring aspect of recent Ponte Preta games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.
From their prior sextet of matches leading up to this one, in 5 of them a wager on BTTS would've been a loser. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to follow through here, of course.
Their past results show that Ponte Preta:
- have not emerged victorious against Criciuma in their last 7 league matches.
- haven’t won at home in the past 5 league games. That's never good.
Criciuma

Ponte Preta may not find it easy to break down this Criciuma side who should do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.
