Taking their previous sextet of clashes leading up to this one, in 5 of them a wager on BTTS would've been a loser.

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.

🗞️ Team News: Náutico

From a largely healthy group, there’s just the sole fitness problem for the Náutico boss Hélio dos Anjos to be concerned about. 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.
