General match analysis
Criciúma are very strong at home: they win 62% of such matches, lose just 8%, and concede only 0.46 goals per game on average. The hosts also create significantly more chances than Juventude do away from home, averaging 15.46 shots and 1.65 xG compared with the visitors’ 10.42 shots and 1.11 xG. However, Juventude arrive on an excellent five-match unbeaten run, with 3 wins, 2 draws and just 1 goal conceded. The visitors’ main issue remains their attacking output away from home: they score an average of 0.75 goals and fail to find the net in 33% of away matches. Criciúma’s highly resolute defense combined with Juventude’s limited away effectiveness gives the hosts a slight but clear edge, although the risk of a closely contested match remains high.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest signal for BTTS - No comes from Criciúma’s home defense: the team concedes just 0.15 goals on average and keeps a clean sheet in 85% of matches. Juventude scores only 0.75 goals per away game, averages 3.0 shots on target, and converts 7% of its attempts, which limits its scoring prospects. Criciúma’s seasonal BTTS rate is just 8%, while Juventude’s stands at 33%, both clearly below the league average of 47%. The visitors’ current form also supports a No Goal scenario for at least one side, as they have scored an average of 0.8 goals in their last 5 matches while conceding only 1 goal themselves. Criciúma has greater offensive potential, with an xG of 1.54 compared with Juventude’s 1.11, but the most likely outcome is one in which at least one team fails to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Criciúma rely on a very solid home defense, conceding an average of just 0.15 goals and keeping a clean sheet in 85% of their matches. Juventude score only 0.75 goals per away game, and have netted just 4 goals across their last five appearances, so their attacking outlook remains limited. The hosts create more chances, as reflected by an xG of 1.54 and an average of 5.38 shots on target, but Juventude concede only 0.92 goals away from home and have allowed just 1 goal in their last five matches. Historically, matches finished with Under 2.5 goals in 77% of Criciúma's games and 75% of Juventude's, while Under 3.5 goals landed in 100% and 92% of matches, respectively. Under 3.5 is therefore the strongest option, as the data from both teams clearly limits the risk of a game featuring at least four goals.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Criciúma has a very strong home profile: they win 69% of their matches, score an average of 1.31 goals, and concede just 0.15 goals per game. The team led at the break in 7 of their 13 home matches, or 54%, while Juventude took the lead in the first half in only 8% of their games. The visitors score just 0.08 goals per game before half-time, while conceding an average of 0.58 during that period, clearly favoring Criciúma to establish an advantage in the opening 45 minutes. The hosts’ superiority is also evident in attacking quality, with an average xG of 1.54 compared with Juventude’s 1.11, while shots on target stand at 5.38 versus 3.00. Juventude’s recent form is solid, with a 60% win rate across their last five matches, but their failure to score before half-time in this period further strengthens the scenario of Criciúma taking the lead and maintaining it until full-time.
