Criciuma welcome Juventude on Tuesday, Sep 8 at 5:00 PM in a Serie B fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Criciuma come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Juventude travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 10 previous meetings, Criciuma lead 2–4 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Criciuma a slight edge, but Juventude are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
