Criciuma will return to their Estádio Heriberto Hülse looking to avoid a third league defeat on the trot in the Brazilian top flight when they play host to mid-table visitors Vitoria having suffered back-to-back defeats on the road at Internacional and Cruzeiro respectively.
Results overall in recent times for Criciuma in the domestic top flight have been generally poor as the hosts have managed to capture just two wins in their last 10 league matches which came in the form of rare wins against Gremio and Atletico GO, whilst also slipping to five losses within this period as well.
As a result, Criciuma now find themselves hovering dangerously close above the relegation zone and level on points with fourth from bottom club Juventude.
Vitoria’s recent three-match winning streak was brought to a halt by a 2-1 loss at home to Corinthians after the visitors had strung together impressive wins against Bragantino, Fluminense and Athletico PR respectively, all of whom occupy places in the lower regions of the Serie A table.
The visitors have been handed just two defeats in their last eight matches overall while also collecting five wins in the process as well and includes earlier victories over the likes of Atletico GO and Juventude as well, so Thiago Carpini’s side will be quietly confident they can get something out of this upcoming trip.
Results away from home have been fairly inconsistent though as Vitoria have managed to register just three wins from their last seven outings on the road in Serie A along with three losses and a draw.
The Betting Verdict
Vitoria have lost just twice in their last 10 meetings with Criciuma and the visitors look capable of at least avoiding defeat here at the Estádio Heriberto Hülse.
The Pick :
Criciuma 1-1 Vitoria
