It's the first game of the new season for Criciúma and Ituano. The canvas is blank, the possibilities endless.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Criciúma form and stats
Disaster struck Criciúma last season as they could not defend their status as a Catarinense 1 team. With 5 defeats from eleven games, and only 1 win, relegation could not be avoided. Criciúma are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W1 D2 L3.
Criciúma are traveling soon after this match as the Copa do Brasil match at América Mineiro awaits in four days.
Ituano form and stats
A job perfectly done for Ituano last season as they secured promotion from Paulista A1. With a grand total of 4 wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 2 were in away matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: one win for Criciúma, two draws and two wins for Ituano. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Criciúma missing players
