Both teams *not* to score at Criciuma vs Ponte Preta 4/6 for Friday’s Brazil Serie B battle

Competition: Brazil Serie B

Market: Both teams to score – No

Odds: 4/6 @ 888sport

Two sides who have largely gained a reputation for their low-scoring affairs, Criciuma will host Ponte Preta when this weekend’s Brazil Serie B fixtures get underway.

Starting with the hosts, last seen putting in another toothless display earlier in the week, Criciuma find themselves in the midst of an extended rut. In their 17 Serie B matchups so far this season, they have recorded six wins, five draws and six defeats, scoring 18 and conceding 16 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 23, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat seventh in the standings and five points adrift of breaking into the promotion spots. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 0-0 stalemate away at Carlos Renaux, Criciuma have now managed to win just one of their previous five Serie B matchups. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Friday’s hosts havs failed to bag a single goal in any of their last three second-tier contests on the spin.

As for the visitors, managing to make a much-needed return to winning ways last time out, Ponte Preta will be desperate to build off of that result. In their 17 Serie B matchups so far this season, they have recorded just four wins, six draws and seven defeats, scoring 10 and conceding 14 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 18, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 16th in the standings and with just their goal difference keeping them outside the relegation zone. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 1-0 victory against CSA on the road, that was the first win that Ponte Preta have collected from their last six Serie B matchups. It should be noted, with Friday’s guests seeing just one of their last five contests finish with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a cagey affair here.
