Criciuma welcome Nautico on Saturday, Jul 25 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). Nautico travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Criciuma here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Nautico, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Nautico won 0–1.

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