Sport Recife have had a mixed run lately, winning two, drawing one and losing two of their recent games, so they're in decent but not perfect shape. Criciuma are struggling more — they've lost three of their last five — although they did win their other two, so they can still cause problems. When these two teams meet, the games have often been tight and low-scoring, with several finishing one-nil or ending level.

Overall this looks like a very even match between two sides that are close in quality. Sport Recife are at home and in slightly better form, but Criciuma have had the edge in recent meetings between the clubs. It should be a close contest, and a draw looks like the most likely outcome, with Criciuma well capable of taking something from the game too.
