Match Preview
Criciúma will host Novorizontino in a Serie B clash at the Estádio Heriberto Hülse on Saturday. The home side comes into this match with a solid recent record, securing three wins in their last five outings, while Novorizontino has struggled, managing just one victory in the same period. This disparity in form could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the match. Historically, the head-to-head record suggests a competitive rivalry, with Criciúma winning two of the last ten encounters, while Novorizontino has claimed one victory. Notably, both teams have shown vulnerabilities in defence, as evidenced by the fact that both teams have scored in three of their last five meetings. Given Criciúma's home advantage and their current form, they are favourites at odds of 2.1. However, with Novorizontino's need for points, a bet on both teams to score (BTTS Yes at 2.25) could prove to be a valuable angle, considering both teams' recent scoring trends.
