In this stadium, the history of direct confrontations is favorable to the home team, which records 2 wins and 2 draws in the last 4 games. However, the last time these two teams played a game at this stadium was on 10-11-2018, in a match for Serie B that ended in a draw for (3‑3).

In this match the home factor may be decisive, since both teams have considerable differences in the results won at home and as a visitor.
Criciuma:
After 6 wins, 11 draws and 12 losses, the home team is currently in 18th place, with 29 points won. In their last game, they tied with Vitória at home by (1‑1), after in the previous match they lost by (1‑0) outside, in a match against Coritiba. This is a stronger team with the support of their fans, since in the last 30 games they register 1 victory, 5 draws and 9 losses as a visitor, with 7 goals scored and 18 suffered; against 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses in his stadium, with 15 goals scored and 13 suffered. In his last 10 home games for the championship Criciuma won 3, drew 4 and lost 3, so he won 13 points in 30 possible. In their home league games the most frequent final result at the break was 0-0 (7 in 15 games). His defense has not been very solid, since he suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 games for this competition. In 29 games in the competition, he suffered the first goal 17 times and only got 2 comebacks.
The fight against the descent is the reality of Criciúma and that is why he knows that in such an important moment he cannot lose points at home. If you really want to stay in Serie B, you need to play better football, with more attitude and fewer mistakes. In the current round it is clear that you will have difficulties, but if you show a more solid and efficient football you can have a positive result. Of course, he must respect the visiting team, but he knows that if he imposes and does not give spaces to the opponent you can add a victory. In this match, the best players available will be on the field.
CRB :
After 11 wins, 7 draws and 11 losses, the away team is currently in 8th position, with 40 points won. In their last game, they tied with Operário PR at home for (0‑0), after in the previous game they lost out, in a match against Guarani, for (1‑0). This is a team that curiously conquers more positive results as a visitor than at home, since in the last 30 matches it records 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses as a visitor, with 16 goals scored and 11 suffered; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in his stadium, with 16 goals scored and 17 suffered. In its last 10 away matches for the championship, the CRB records 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, so it conquered 17 points in 30 possible. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 7 of the last 10 matches, so he has not presented great defensive strength, but his attack has scored regularly, since he scored goals in 7 of the last 10 games for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 7 of their last 14 matches for this competition have ended with Under 1,5 goals. In 29 games in this competition, he never got the comeback in the 10 games in which he suffered the first goal.
The last rounds have been oscillations for the CRB and, of course, this bothers those responsible for the club. Now, the idea is to show everything you know how to do and pursue growth, because at the end of the season you can achieve something better. That’s why you want to get as many good results as possible, whether you’re playing at home or not, because that can make a difference. So, come to this duel to surprise and the least you expect is to bring home a draw. In this match, Vinicius, Lucas Abreu, Ferrugem and Edson Mardden will be absent, because they are in the medical department.
