In this encounter, the advantage of playing at home may be significant, as Criciúma’s home and away performances exhibit notable differences.

Team analysis: Paysandu

Currently positioned 20th, the home side has accumulated only 4 points from 4 draws and 5 losses. In their previous match, they suffered a defeat against Novorizontino (3-1) and earlier drew at home with Goiás (0-0). This team appears relatively unaffected by home advantage, recording similar results at home and away—3 wins, 7 draws, and 5 losses while visiting, with 18 goals scored and 21 conceded compared to 6 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses at home, scoring 18 goals and conceding 12. In the league, Paysandu has only managed 2 points from a possible 12 in their last 4 home matches.

They have not celebrated a victory in 9 matches during this competition. Their defensive frailty is apparent, as they have conceded goals in 7 of their last 9 matches. The team rarely scores first, having only managed to take the lead in 2 of their last 9 Serie B fixtures, and has never been ahead at half-time. In the 9 games played, they haven’t managed to overcome the score in any of the 5 matches in which they conceded first. Notably, they have let in 5 of their 13 goals at home within the closing minutes of the first half (31’–45′).

Paysandu enters this match under pressure due to their failure to secure victories and their undesirable position at the bottom of Serie B’s table. The team faces various challenges defensively and offensively that hamper their competitiveness. With the need for a prompt turnaround, particularly on home turf, they view this match against a direct rival at the bottom of the league as an excellent opportunity for redemption. To achieve this, they must deliver a performance that showcases a more effective and balanced approach. Support from the fans could serve as a crucial motivational factor, with victory being an absolute necessity.

Team analysis: Criciúma

In 18th position, the visiting side has 6 points, with 1 win, 3 draws, and 5 losses to their name. Their last outing resulted in a home defeat to Coritiba (0-1), and they also lost away to CRB previously (1-0). Interestingly, this team has recorded more positive results away than on home soil, with 5 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses as visitors, scoring 17 goals and conceding 25. At home, they managed 4 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses, having scored 17 and conceded 15. In their last 4 away games in the league, Criciúma has earned just 1 point from 12 possible.

In this competition, they are yet to win any of their last 4 games away from home. Defensive robustness has not been their strong suit, conceding goals in 7 of their last 9 matches. Furthermore, they have not been able to change the scoreline in the 4 games where they have conceded first in this competition.

Criciúma is also going through a difficult phase, with only one victory to date, failing to meet expectations. Nevertheless, they maintain a slight edge over their opponent and are eager to exploit this psychological advantage. The team needs to display greater consistency throughout matches, particularly when playing away, where they have shown weaknesses. The clash against Paysandu is deemed a crucial and high-risk encounter, necessitating full focus from the outset. Balancing defensive stability with offensive prowess will be key. Accumulating points away from home is essential for a solid recovery.
