Here's every piece of info you need to learn, and some more, about the Náutico - Criciúma game!

Insights:
  • Náutico have the most conceded goals in the first half (14) in Serie B
  • Criciúma have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

These teams have little in common geographically as Criciúma have to travel 3500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Náutico form and stats

Náutico's struggle is real here at Estádio Eládio de Barros Carvalho with only 6 points collected from 7 Serie B games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-3.

The Náutico coach Barros and his side return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Tombense (placed 6th). Bispo, defender, was given a rating of 7.23/10 in that game, top of the team. Bispo won 3 of 3 duels.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Sport Recife that ended 1-1.

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 Náutico have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 5 and lost 1.

Low on goals? In this team's last 10 league matches, 8 have produced zero, one or two goals.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Náutico, as the Serie B home game vs Novorizontino is only three days away.

On the other hand, Náutico have conceded 8 goals.

Criciúma form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Criciúma so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose).

Gabriel scored in Criciúma's previous match, the home game against Vila Nova that ended 1-0. Criciúma goalie Gustavo was high and low in the Vila Nova game, contributing six saves towards the victory. Gustavo was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.12. The agile goalkeeper Gustavo topped it up with a clean sheet.

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Metropolitano.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 10 similar matches played by Criciúma in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Criciúma, 3 draws and 5 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Criciúma manager Tencati as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Ituano.

The attacking power of Criciúma when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. As opposed to that, Criciúma have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between these participants: Náutico won two, Criciúma were winners in six and we saw two draws. three games with more than 2,5 goals, seven matches with less than 2,5 goals.
