Criciuma vs Internacional tips and predictions

Interesting match-up in Serie A

If they're motivated Criciuma look like they can take home the bragging rights. But if Internacional turn up in good from then they might get their fingers burnt.

Criciuma have got some good wins ahead of this one. The hosts have reached 12 home wins from their last 19 games. With less fortune the travelling side has been flattering to deceive at times. They've lost 2 of their last 4 matches, home or away. They've been facing different opposition but that doesn't appear to be the record of a team that has had the right preparation for this.

This home squad is enjoying some form at their own ground. Criciuma have scored at least once in 19 of their recent 20 home matches and that effort has been consolidated at the back where they have kept a clean sheet in 8 of their last 19 home games.

In possession the visitors have seemed unsure. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 6 matches. These sorts of matches are not won on paper though so be cautious when analysing these sides. If the hairdryer treatment has worked they can bounce back quickly.

It's not a confident forecast though. They may end up in stalemate. The match could unfold into a war of attrition with the two sides ultimately being pretty even. It isn't a strong view compared to other previews but the No BTTS bet is fair. And taking a look at the goal line, it's more than three goals for this one considering how that market has been priced up.
