Mirassol played 0-3 against Parana last week, a game to remember. Next up is this strong Criciúma side.
- Mirassol have the most conceded goals (11) in Serie C
- Criciúma have the most clean sheets (5) in Serie C
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
These teams have little in common geographically as Criciúma have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
