Criciúma host América Mineiro in Serie B tonight, with the home side having just won away at Londrina 0-2 on 3 Oct, while the visitors just lost at home to Fortaleza 0-1 on 8 Oct. The two sides come into this in clearly different moods. Criciúma have been stringing together wins in the league and sit 5th in the table with 53 points, while América Mineiro are stuck in 19th with only 17 points, struggling in attack and under heavy pressure in every away match. The expected lineup has Criciúma controlling the midfield and pushing their attack from both flanks, while the visitors are likely to sit deep and wait to counter occasionally. If the home side score first as the game shape suggests, the match should flow in one direction, because América Mineiro concede 31% of all their goals late in games, exactly the period when the home side tend to step up and close out the scoring.
