Criciúma will welcome Vila Nova to Estádio Heriberto Hülse for a matchday 14 fixture in Brazil Serie B. The last meeting on 1st October 2019 ended in a 1-1 draw. Both sides have met eight times in the most recent seasons. Criciúma has won 3 matches, and Vila Nova triumphed in 1. Recent outings average 2.00 goals, while both teams score 50% of the time.
Criciúma’s last game in the Brazil Serie B against Brusque at home ended in a 0-1 loss. The final result is not a surprise. Tigre played less with the ball and therefore had less clear cut chances.
Vila Nova’s recent game against Operário PR ended in a home 0-0 draw. They had more ball possession and goal-scoring opportunities but it wasn’t enough to win three points.
Since the start of the season, Criciúma is more dominant at home. They have three wins out of 7 games on home soil. Although Criciúma is among the most solid home teams in the league, they are far from perfect. Their defence is not as good as expected with just 29% home clean sheets.
Vila Nova has picked up 4 points from the previous six league games. They still have a lot to prove when playing away from home. Tigre da Vila Famosa wins 0.50 points per away game, a bit less than their home record shows. To improve results, they have to be more compact in defence. Vila Nova kept a clean sheet in just 0% of their visits.
It is hard to choose a favourite in this one. Both teams look evenly-matched and have their strengths. I am not willing to take a risk and prefer a double chance bet. My prediction is Criciúma or Draw.
Still, I expect a close game and don’t think that we will see a lot of goals. Both sides score and concede on average 2.25 goals per game. Over 2.5 goals were scored in an average of 31% of Criciúma’s home and Vila Nova’s away games. My prediction is Under 2.5 Goals.
