Sport Recife Criciúma betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 19^th position of the league, with 31 points won, after 6 wins, 13 draws and 14 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against São Bento, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Operário PR, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 5 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 7 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 14 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Criciúma has a record of 5 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 5 points out of 30 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 12 away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (8 out of 16 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 13 of the last 16 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 8 of the last 33 matches for the Serie B, they have reached half‑time in front in 5 of those 8 matches and have held on to the lead in 4. In 33 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 21 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 16 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 8 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

The fight against relegation is the reality of Criciúma and so it knows that at such an important moment it needs to punctuate even away from its domains. If they really want to stay in Serie B they need to play better football with more attitude and fewer mistakes. In the current round it is clear that difficulties will come, but if they show a more solid and efficient football they can have a positive result. Of course they should respect the local team, but they know that if they impose themselves and do not give spaces they can achieve a favorable result. In this match Luiz, Julimar, Leo Santos, Bruno Grassi and Mateus Ferreira will be out for being in the medical department.

Confirmed Lineup: Paulo Gianezini, Thales, Sandro, Bruno Oliveira, Derlan, Wesley, Foguinho, Andrew, Jean, Léo Gamalho, Reis.
Coach: C. Tencati.
