NextGOAL tip: Criciúma (level) · 3 stars
São Bernardo and Criciúma meet in Serie B, with the hosts sitting 12th while the visitors are 5th and pushing for promotion places. Both sides' most recent matches finished with goals at both ends: São Bernardo drew 2-2, while Criciúma won 1-0. That makes this game interesting because the hosts want to finish well at home, while the visitors need points to hold their position in the table. This season São Bernardo have scored 46 goals in 33 matches, but they have conceded a fair amount too, and they have lost only one of their last five. Criciúma are different in that their defence is tighter, conceding just 28 goals all season, and they have won 3 of their last 5, keeping three clean sheets along the way. Their away games are therefore not especially open. The expected pattern should be close. The hosts have had slightly less possession over their last 10 matches, but Criciúma clearly have more of the ball and a more reliable defence. This game is likely to finish with few goals, and the visitors should manage the situation better on a day when the hosts have to open up.
