Criciuma

DWLDLL

Criciuma will be hoping to return to winning ways here after a 6-0 Copa do Brasil defeat in their last game at the hands of Red Bull Bragantino.

In that match, Criciuma managed 51% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target. At the other end, Red Bull Bragantino got 19 attempts on goal with 8 on target. Eduardo Sasha (9'), Lucas Barbosa (22', 53', 68') and Thiago Borbas (61', 88') scored for Red Bull Bragantino.

Criciuma haven’t made the most of their chances in more recent games. Their sum of goals equals just 4 vs opponents over their previous 6 outings. In those games, Criciuma have also seen the number of goals that have gone against them total 5. Previous results aside, we must now wait to see whether the trend might continue on in this match.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Criciuma:

• are undefeated in their previous 3 home league matches.
• have not won at home in their last 2 league games.

Coritiba

DLWLLW

Coritiba will go into the match following a 1-0 Serie B win over América Mineiro in their most recent outing.

In that game, Coritiba had 41% possession and 9 shots on goal with 6 on target. The only player to score for Coritiba was Sebastián Gómez (23'). America Mineiro had 16 shots at goal with 10 of them on target.

In 5 of the previous six clashes involving Coritiba, a comparatively low number of goals have gone in between them and opposing sides. The overall average number of goals per game during that spell is a paltry 1.33, with the number of goals averaged by Coxa being 0.67.

Their prior results show that Coritiba:

• have not won against Criciuma in games played away from home for the previous 4 matches in the league. Not the best of away records.
• have not won away from home in their last 3 matches in the league.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Checking on their prior head-to-head meetings stretching back to 16/11/2013 shows us that Criciuma have won 3 of them & Coritiba 2, with the tally of draws standing at 1.

A combined sum of 11 goals were produced between them during those clashes, with 6 of them for Tigrão and 5 belonging to Coxa. The average goals per game has been 1.83.

📰 Team News: Coritiba

Due to a mostly available squad, there is only a single fitness worry for the Coritiba gaffer Mozart Santos to contend with. Rodrigo Moledo (Knock) misses out for this game.

✨ Prediction

Coritiba may well find it hard to score against this Criciuma team who we think might well score one, at least.

We’re therefore expecting a highly competitive game with a 1-0 winning score for Criciuma when all is said and done.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
