General match analysis
Criciúma have a clear home advantage: they win 53% of their home matches, concede just 0.67 goals per game there, and keep a clean sheet in 53% of fixtures. Avaí lose as many as 67% of their away matches, score an average of just 1 goal, and allow opponents to generate 1.87 xG. At home, the hosts create chances worth an average of 1.72 xG, attempt 16 shots per game, and maintain 56% possession, while the visitors manage only 1.05 xG and 2.8 shots on target. Both teams are in poor recent form, with Criciúma losing 4 of their last 5 matches, while Avaí have failed to win any of theirs and have scored just 3 goals during that period. However, home advantage and the hosts’ significantly more solid defense should tip the result in Criciúma’s favor.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The stronger signal points to BTTS - No, as both teams scored in only 20% of Criciúma’s last five matches, compared with 60% for Avaí. Both teams scored just 3 goals each during this period, averaging only 0.6 per match, which significantly limits the chances of goals at both ends. Criciúma has kept a clean sheet in 36% of its matches this season, while Avaí scores an average of just 1.00 goal per game and produces an average of 1.05 xG. The hosts should have better conditions to find the net, as Avaí concedes an average of 1.60 goals and allows opponents 1.87 xG, but the poor recent finishing of both sides increases the likelihood that at least one team will fail to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest signal is Under 3.5 goals: this outcome occurred in 93% of Criciúma’s matches and 73% of Avaí’s. Criciúma average 1.07 goals at home, while Avaí score 1.00 away, with both teams managing just 3 goals each across their last five matches—0.6 per game. However, the hosts have a basis for around 1.35 goals, as they create an average of 1.43 xG, while Avaí allow opponents 1.87 xG and concede an average of 1.60 goals away from home. At the same time, Criciúma keep a clean sheet in 36% of matches, and their opponents average only 2.8 shots on target per game, limiting the away side’s projection to 0.95 goals. The total projection of 2.30 goals, together with only 7% of Criciúma’s matches featuring at least four goals, clearly supports Under 3.5.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time followed by a Criciúma win in the match, as both teams frequently go into the dressing room level: the hosts do so in 50% of their matches, while Avaí do so in 53%. Criciúma have been clearly more consistent over the full season, averaging 1.36 points per game compared with Avaí’s 0.73, with Avaí losing as many as 67% of their matches. The hosts’ advantage is also evident in chance creation: their average xG is 1.43, while Avaí’s opponents average 1.87 xG. Avaí have led at the break just once, in 7% of their matches, and have conceded an average of 0.80 goals before half-time, which supports an even opening followed by a home-team advantage. Criciúma’s poor current form, with just 1 win in their last 5 matches, reduces confidence in the pick, although Avaí have also failed to win any of those 5 games and scored just 0.6 goals per match during that run.
