Hoping to try and find a route into the top-half of the Serie B table in midweek, Criciuma will host Operario late on Wednesday night.

Starting with the hosts, after watching their extended unbeaten run come to an abrupt end last weekend, Criciuma will be seeking an immediate response here. In their 24 Serie B matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, nine draws and eight defeats, scoring 24 and conceding 24 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 30, they open the midweek fixtures sat 12th in the standings and just a single point adrift of breaking into the top-half. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 3-1 defeat away at Novorizontino, that was the first defeat that Criciuma have suffered from their previous 10 Serie B matchups. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Wednesday’s hosts have seen nine of those 10 second-tier contests finish with over 1.5 goals.

As for the visitors, although Operario might have managed to snatch a single point last time out, they are firmly at the heart of a relegation scrap. In their 24 Serie B matchups so far this season, they have recorded six wins, seven draws and 11 defeats, scoring 22 and conceding 32 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 25, they open the midweek fixtures sat down in 16th and holding just a two-point buffer from dropping into the drop zone. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw at home against Sampaio Correa, Operario have managed to win just one of their previous nine Serie B matchups. Likewise, it should be highlighted, with Wednesday’s guests seeing three of their last four second-tier fixtures finish with over 1.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
