On May 5th, CSA will host Criciúma in a clash of these two closely matched Serie B teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 25 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, 18th placed CSA, recorded a 0-2 loss against Brusque. Diego Jardel struck first for Brusque in the 52nd minute, then Bruno Aguiar added another in the 84th minute In the end, CSA couldn’t muster any offence and Brusque ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 1 of their last 10, while in their last match, Criciúma recorded a 0-1 loss against Guarani. Diogo Mateus scored the first goal for Guarani in the 72nd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Criciúma was frustrated by Guarani’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Guarani ended the match with the shutout victory. Criciúma is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Criciúma is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Marquinhos Gabriel and Marcelo Hermes each only have 1 goal in their last 5. Werley has been the most prolific scorer on CSA in the last 5 matches with three goals.
