Competition: Brazil Serie B

Market: Criciuma win

Odds: 19/20 @ BetUS

Starting with the hosts, suffering play-off heartbreak last season, Criciuma are desperate to go one-step further this time around. Last seen putting in another gritty performance as they secured a 1-0 victory at home against Londrina, Eduardo Baptista’s side have secured consecutive Serie B wins and they now find just their goal difference keeping them outside of the play-off places. Signing off May with a 2-1 victory away at Avai, the Tigers are unbeaten in all of their previous seven consecutive appearances – a run that stems back to April 20th. Likewise, the one-time Coritiba boss has also seen his promotion contenders gain a reputation for their extended dominance on home soil. Drawing a line under April with a thumping 3-1 win against CRB, Criciuma have registered 10 points from their last four Serie B showdowns in front of their own supporters. It should also be noted, Tuesday’s hosts are unbeaten in their previous seven straight matchups at the Heriberto Hulse across all competitions.

As for the visitors, making a much-welcomed return to winning ways last time out as they snatched a 2-1 victory at home against Avai, Ceara are now desperately searching for some crucial stability. Signing off May with consecutive 2-1 losses against Operario and Novorizontino, the Vozao almost find themselves sat in Serie B limbo. Scrapping it out in the bottom-half of the standings, Tuesday’s guests have lost six of their previous eight appearances across all competitions. Crashing out of the Copa do Brasil at the hands of Atletico-MG on May 14th, Ceara should be bracing themselves for what will be another stern examination here. In fact, the Fortaleza-based outfit should be concerned by their glaring issues away from the Castelao. Along with losing each of their previous three consecutive matchups on the road by an aggregate score of 5-1, the Vozao have also lost four of their last five away fixtures across all fronts.
