This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie B, Criciúma holding 18th place and Vitória lying 15th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Criciúma and Vitória.

It's quite the trip for Vitória when visiting Criciúma as the cities are 2800 kilometers apart.

5-5-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Criciúma so far this season.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Criciúma have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won 3 Drawn 5 Lost 5.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Criciúma as they have a new game in only three days, a Serie B match thankfully also at home. CRB are visiting.

Two travels in a row for Vitória, whose manager Geninho could celebrate last time after the Serie B win against Cuiabá. Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Oeste.

What a finish in the last match, as Vitória came back from being down 0-1 and secured all three points through J. Caicedo in the 88th minute.
