Betting on Criciúma Esporte Clube 2022 Série B Games

Criciúma Esporte Clube Squad

Criciúma will have been hoping to consolidate their league status at the beginning of the season; however, as it has progressed, they found themselves still with an outside chance of promotion to Série A. The fans should be satisfied with how the season has gone and have clearly backed Criciúma at the 19,300 capacity Éstadio Heriberto Hülse stadium. Brazilian manager Cláudio Tencati has been in charge of Criciúma since July 2021 and has had an impressive first season in Série B. Aside from the reasonable home form, Tencati has set up Criciúma on their travels away from home making them hard to beat and collecting valuable points.

Goalkeeper Gustavo has contributed greatly, securing in excess of 10 clean sheets during the season. This has been achieved with the support of the experienced 35-year-old centre-back and team captain Rodrigo, an almost permanent presence throughout the season.

Fellipe Mateus has made a strong impression on the team this season as an attacking midfielder, chipping in with one goal and two assists. Additional attacking intent has come through Hygor, who is leading Criciúma’s scoring charts, while creativity and assists were delivered by Lohan.

Criciúma will need to be at their best in the closing stages of the season to have any chance of promotion, needing to win their remaining fixtures while benefitting from results elsewhere being favourable to them.

Criciúma has it all to play for in the closing stages of the Série B season and the excitement of their remaining fixtures can be further enhanced by considering some betting opportunities set out below.

Criciúma to Win or Draw or Lose

Reasonable form in the league has seen Criciúma not only consolidate their status in Série B but it has also placed them with an outside chance of promotion. As long as their chances of winning remain, the team will be going all-out for wins. Criciúma has been draw specialists during the 2022 season, in particular when they have been playing away from home. Criciúma recently had a home game against bottom club Náutico and won 2 – 1. With Criciúma winning the game, odds were available at 1.55, a draw at 4.30 and a win for Náutico priced at 7.60. In comparison to another home game, Criciúma had longer odds at 1.95 to beat Ituana.

Both Teams to Score

You can bet on a game where you predict in advance that both teams will score, or the game will end goalless. In the reverse fixture, when Náutico were playing at home against Criciúma, the odds available for the game to remain goalless was 1.82. The game ended in a draw, but both teams scored, so a bet on no goals will have lost.

Criciúma to Score in Both Halves

Going into the final games of the season, Criciúma was one of the league’s top-scoring teams; however, their average goals per game were approximately only 1.05 goals. A home game against bottom team Náutico with Criciúma scoring in both halves offered odds of 1.30. If you were bold and predicted Náutico to score in both halves, there were odds of 3.25 available.

Correct Score

Odds are likely to be longer and there will be a greater choice of outcomes when you attempt to predict the correct score. If you pick the wrong score the bet will lose; however, this type of bet can make the game truly exciting to watch, especially if you are on track to win during the final minutes of the game. Furthermore, this market often offers some incredibly long odds. In a recent game, there were odds of 81.00 available on a 3-3 draw and odds of 11.00 on a 2 – 0 win.

There are odds of 8.00 available on Criciúma reaching the top four by the end of the season. On the flip side, you can also place a bet on which teams will be relegated.
