Criciuma have had a mixed run lately, with a couple of wins but also some losses, so they're not in great form. Ponte Preta have been struggling more, losing several recent games and only managing a draw last time out. When these two have met before, the games have usually been tight and low-scoring, often decided by a single goal.

This looks like a close match rather than an open one. Given the recent results and how these teams have matched up, Criciuma are the more likely side to come out on top, though a draw is also very possible.
