Match preview: Criciúma vs Vila Nova
Criciúma and Vila Nova will face each other at the Heriberto Hülse Stadium for the 11th round of Serie B. Recent direct encounters favour the home team, who have secured 2 victories, drawn 1, and lost 1 of their last 4 meetings. The last match between these sides, on 23-2023, saw Criciúma emerge victorious with a scoreline of 1-0. It is vital to consider each team’s home and away form, as Criciúma has varied results when playing in front of their home crowd compared to away games.
Team analysis: Criciúma
Following 2 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses, the home team currently sits in 19th place, with 6 points to their name. In their last match, they triumphed over Paysandu away from home (0-1) but lost to Coritiba at home (0-1) just prior. Interestingly, Criciúma has better results on the road than at home; in the last 30 matches, their record includes 6 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses away, with 18 goals scored and 25 conceded, compared to a home record of 4 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses, scoring 17 and conceding 15. In their last 5 home games in the league, Criciúma has managed only 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses, earning a mere 5 points out of 15. The team has also allowed goals in 7 of their last 10 outings, revealing defensive weaknesses, although they have found the net in 7 of those matches as well. Criciúma often concedes the first goal, having done so in 4 out of 10 matches, and they have yet to come back to win any of those. Notably, 7 of the 17 goals conceded at home this season have occurred between the 76th and 90th minutes.
Criciúma has recently rediscovered their winning touch, steering clear of the relegation zone, yet they remain precariously positioned on the league table. Understanding the importance of securing three points at home to further distance themselves from the bottom, the team is keen to improve its standing. They have shown signs of improvement, specifically defensively, and are aiming to continue this positive momentum. However, facing a dynamic and competitive opponent will prove challenging, and the support from the home crowd will be essential in achieving a favourable result. The objective remains to replicate their solid performances at home and leverage the advantage of playing on familiar turf.
Team analysis: Vila Nova
With 5 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses, the visiting side occupies 7th place, amassing 16 points. In their last match, they were narrowly defeated by Novorizontino at home (0-1), following a loss against Cuiabá (1-0) in the match prior. This team maintains a consistent performance when playing away, recording 6 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses in their last 30 matches as guests; contrast this with the 7 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses they’ve achieved at home. In the current league campaign, Vila Nova has gained only 4 points from 15 available in their last 5 away matches, comprising 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses. Their away games tend to feature low scoring, with 37 out of the last 60 encounters witnessing fewer than 3 goals. In the 10 matches this season, they have never rallied from behind after conceding first, losing all 5 games in that scenario.
Vila Nova has been performing solidly in Serie B and is closely chasing the G-4, sitting just 2 points away from the promotion zone. However, recent setbacks have raised concerns, prompting the team to focus on greater consistency. They demonstrate tactical strength and balance across all areas, making them competitive, even when playing away. In the face of Criciúma, they will aim to maintain their high intensity and exploit any opportunities that arise. Achieving a victory is crucial, as this will help them stay in touch with the league leaders and continue their quest for promotion. This match promises to be demanding, yet there is a strong sense of confidence within the squad.
The best prediction for Criciúma vs Vila Nova
