Criciuma vs Cruzeiro tips and predictions

Not straightforward to separate teams in Serie B clash; stalemate in the equation

All results are possible here so be sure to do tonnes of research. You can expect this to be tight. A goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away with.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Solid on their own soil Criciuma have conceded only 2 goals in their last 9 matches. Meanwhile Cruzeiro haven't conceded a single goal during their most recent 3 games.

In previous matches between these sides 2 of the last 3 have been draws.

Don't be disappointed if one of these sides tries to lock this game down as the match is likely to be tight. If you think it plays out that way then the BTTS No is for you.

Criciuma have drawn 6 of their last 9 matches on their own soil. They drew 0-0 with Gremio last week. Cruzeiro drew one of their last 3 away games. It's not a very exciting prediction and it feels like a match to be on your guard about. A deadlock awaits after what looks set to be a tightly contested match-up.
