Struggling Criciúma will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Brusque in the upcoming league round. It’s 8th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Criciúma has the fewest points from losing position (1) in Serie C
- Brusque is in the worst form (0-2-4)
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Criciúma form and stats
Overall Serie C stats at home this season for Criciúma, who have the fewest clean sheets (1) at home in Serie C, are 4-2-2 (wins-draw-losses).

A decent goal production from Criciúma in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 8 league matches. On the other hand, Criciúma have conceded 11 goals. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Brusque form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Brusque so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-4 (win-draw-lose). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Brusque are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road. Recent form does not give Brusque much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Criciúma will be a tough nut to crack.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Volta Redonda was particularly ugly (1-8). The humiliation is still top of mind.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Brusque have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
