A win for Vasco da Gama against Criciuma is valued at 3.00 odds. The visitors are in better form and have a better team than Criciuma, an away win is a good option but betting on away win or draw (+0.5) is much safer and still has good value.

The 17th round of fixtures in the Brazilian Serie B sees Criciuma host Vasco da Gama at the Estadio Heriberto Hulse on Saturday.

Vasco da Gama are having a very good season. The visitors are currently second in the Brazilian Serie B, seven points behind Cruzeiro. They would be looking to maintain their spot in the top four as they bid for promotion to the Brazilian Serie A.

Mauricio Souza's team have avoided defeat four times in the last five games, scoring five goals and conceding just twice. Vasco da Gama are in very great defensive form and there's a high chance that they would shut out Criciuma. The visitors have kept four clean sheets in the last five games.

Criciuma are fifth in the Brazilian Serie B, three points outside the top four and eight points behind their opponents, Vasco da Gama. They have just six out of 16 league games this season, scoring 18 and conceding fifteen league goals.

Vasco da Gama have lost just once this season, they are in really good form. They have conceded just seven league goals in 16 games — 0.43 goals conceded per game. Criciuma have conceded more than double the amount of goals that Vasco da Gama have let in throughout the season — 15 goals in 16 games.

The away team are in better form and a win is very likely, but since it's an away game a bet on away win or draw (+0.5) at 1.65 odds is the best available option in this fixture.

毛里西奥·索萨的球队在过去的五场比赛中四次避免了失败，进了5球，只丢了2球。达伽马的防守状态非常好，他们很有可能会把克里西乌玛拒之门外。客队在过去的五场比赛中四场零封对手。

克里西乌马在巴西乙级联赛中排名第五，与前四名相差3分，落后对手达伽马8分。在本赛季的16场联赛中，他们只踢了6场，进了18球，丢了15球。

达伽马本赛季只输了一次，他们现在状态很好。他们在16场联赛中只丢了7球，场均丢0.43球。克里西乌马的丢球数量是达伽马整个赛季丢球数量的两倍多——16场15球。
