The bookmakers have placed odds of 3.10 for Criciuma to win against Ituano FC. The visitors are the better team in this fixture, an away win is very likely but backing them to avoid defeat (+0.5) at 1.60 is a very good option to bet on.

Ituano FC host Criciuma at the Estadio Municipal Dr. Novelli Junior on Saturday in the round 16 of the Brazilian Serie B.

Criciuma are currently seventh in the league, three points and seven spots ahead of their opponents, Ituano FC. A win would see the visitors close the gap between them and the top four teams but a draw would maintain their position.

The visitors are in good form. They have won three out of their last five games, drawing one and losing just once. They come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Nautico.

Ituano FC are 14th in the table with 17 points from 14 league games. The hosts have won just four out of fourteen league games, and most of those wins came against team in the lower half of the table.

The hosts have won just two of their last nine games, losing four and sharing the spoils on three occasions. Both teams average 1.1 goals per game this season but defensively Criciuma have the advantage. They have conceded 0.93 goals per game compared to Ituano FC who concede an average of 1.0 goal per game.

Ituano have won just two out of six home games in the league while Criciuma have avoided defeat four times in six away league games.

Criciuma are currently in better form than the hosts, and considering the strength of these two teams, it's clear that an away win is very likely, but a more safer bet on away win or draw (+0.5) at 1.55 odds is the best bet in this fixture.
