Match preview: Criciúma vs Volta Redonda
Criciúma and Volta Redonda clash at Heriberto Hülse Stadium in a match of the 7th round of Série B. There are no recorded official encounters between these two teams in the last 3 years. The last meeting took place on 7th November 2020 and ended in a draw: Volta Redonda (0-0) Criciúma. The home advantage may play a crucial role here, as both teams show marked differences in performance at home compared to away.
Team analysis: Criciúma
Currently situated in 14th place with 5 points from 1 win, 2 draws, and 3 losses, the home team has faced a challenging start. In their last match, they suffered a defeat against Chapecoense (2-1), and prior to that, they managed a draw at home against Remo (1-1). Interestingly, Criciúma has better results away from home, tallying 5 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses in their last 30 away matches, scoring 18 goals and conceding 22, compared to 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses at home, only managing to score 18 while conceding 16. Their last 10 home outings saw them record 3 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses. Defensive frailties have been evident, having conceded in 5 of their last 6 games, though they have consistently scored in each of their last 6 matches in this competition. Notably, they conceded 8 of their 19 goals in the closing minutes (76’–90′).
Criciúma finds itself in a turbulent situation, with the recent loss resulting in a coaching change underscoring internal discontent. Proximity to the relegation zone necessitates immediate action, and playing at home presents an opportunity for recovery. The team understands that they must adopt a more intense and organised approach to rekindle their winning ways. Expectations are high for a more offensive display while maintaining defensive solidity. Home support could prove pivotal, but players must deliver on the pitch. A victory is seen as essential to alleviate pressure and restore confidence.
Team analysis: Volta Redonda
Positioned 16th with 4 points from 1 win, 1 draw, and 4 losses, the visiting side has had a tough campaign. They managed a narrow victory at home against Paysandu (1-0) in their last outing, having lost previously to Athletic Bilbao (2-1) away. Volta Redonda performs considerably better on home soil, with their last 30 games yielding 5 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses in away matches, as opposed to 7 wins, 6 draws, and 2 losses at home. Their last 10 matches in all competitions resulted in 3 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses. Known for their sluggish starts, they have only led at half-time in 2 of their last 15 games, and they have struggled to turn the score around after conceding first.
The first win of the season has brought a sigh of relief and lifted the spirits in the Volta Redonda camp, igniting hopes of escaping the relegation zone. They approach the upcoming match as another opportunity to demonstrate resilience, though they are aware of the challenges when playing away. Morale is on the rise, but showcasing improvement, especially in attack, will be crucial. Concentration will be vital, alongside efficient finishing of chances created. The defence will face scrutiny, requiring a tactical balance. A positive outcome may transform their season, making this match feel pivotal for their campaign.
