Criciuma host Juventude on Tuesday, Sep 8 at 5:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 3 points in the Serie B, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Criciuma come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Juventude travel in good form (3W 1D 1L recently), 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.
