Venue: Estádio Onésio Brasileiro Alvarenga (11788 seats)

Vila Nova are welcoming Criciúma for another important game after their 1-0 result against 15th-placed Londrina.

It's no vacation for neither Vila Nova nor Criciúma as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Criciúma have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Vila Nova form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie B this season. Vila Nova, who have the fewest scored goals (5) at home in Serie B, have only managed 1 win, 6 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Estádio Onésio Brasileiro Alvarenga. Vila Nova are slowly digging their own grave here at Estádio Onésio Brasileiro Alvarenga with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Sao Bento match.

Happy days for Vila Nova in their previous game, a Serie B match away at Londrina (placed 15th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that, Vila Nova drew at home versus CRB.

The lack of attacking qualities in Vila Nova means that they have only scored 5 goals in 12 league home games, less than half a goal per match. 12 goals have been conceded.

Criciúma form and stats

With two straight losses from their last two away games, Criciúma are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

The supporters enjoyed Criciúma's previous game versus Botafogo SP (placed 6th), a Serie B 2-0 win played at home. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Guarani's place.

Goals are few and far between in Criciúma's away league games. Only 5 goals from 12 travels. 14 goals have been conceded by Criciúma in these games.
