After 4 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses, the home team currently sits in 16th position with 16 points. In their last match, they drew with Goiás (1-1), following a home defeat to Avaí (1-2). Surprisingly, Criciúma has performed better away than at home, recording 6 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses as visitors, scoring 17 goals and conceding 18, compared to 5 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses at home, netting 18 goals while letting in 12. In their last 8 home games for the league, Criciúma has achieved 3 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, accumulating 11 points from 24 available. Common scores at halftime in their home matches include 1-1 (3 times in 8 games) and 0-0 (4 times in 8 games). The team has allowed goals in 7 of their last 10 matches, indicating a lack of defensive solidity, yet their attack has been consistent, finding the net in 7 of those games. In 15 matches this season, they have failed to turn around the scoreline in the 5 games where they conceded first. Notably, 7 of their 20 conceded goals across all competitions occurred between the 76th and 90th minutes.
Criciúma is currently facing a phase of inconsistency and must regain form to distance themselves from the relegation zone. Playing at home, they are expected to adopt a more aggressive approach and control the actions right from the start. The team acknowledges their recent performances have been underwhelming and that inconsistencies have cost them crucial points. A strong home crowd could serve as a motivational factor for them. However, the team needs to convert their chances more effectively to turn field dominance into points.
Team analysis: Railway
With 4 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses, the visitors currently hold 13th place with 18 points. In their last match, they suffered a home defeat against Vila Nova (1-3), having also lost away to Paysandu (2-1) in their prior fixture. Railway has struggled in away games, with their last 30 matches yielding only 3 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses, scoring 17 goals and conceding 24. Conversely, they have performed better at home, claiming 7 wins, 6 draws, and just 2 losses, scoring 22 goals while conceding 14. Railway has managed only 6 points from 24 available in their last 8 away league matches, with 1 victory, 3 draws, and 4 losses. Frequent halftime results in their away games include 1-0 (3 times in 8 games) and 0-0 (3 times in 8 games). The team has allowed opponents to score in 9 of their last 10 matches, indicating defensive vulnerabilities, although they have scored regularly, netting in 9 of their last 10 games in this competition. Remarkably, in the 15 games played, they have only managed to turn around the scoreline in 2 of the 8 instances where they conceded first.
Railway is also experiencing fluctuations in form and recognises the need to respond to avoid slipping closer to the relegation zone. Their away performance is a concern, so they will need to adopt caution and intelligence in their approach. The team aims to establish a more stable style of play, striking a balance between defence and attack. In this match, they must focus on solidifying their defence while executing swift counterattacks. The objective is to gain points to build confidence, acknowledging the challenges they will face.
