Criciúma vs Avaí - APWin Predictions

The APWin experts have identified up to three betting markets for this match based on extensive analysis. Below, you'll find the favorite to win this clash and insights into alternative markets.

👉 Our prediction is: Criciúma win or draw

Going on the Double Chance market is a great way to get a much better shot at winning a bet. And our betting tip of taking Criciúma or draw in the Double Chance market is about as close to a safe bet as there is.

Based on their impressive home form this season, it's hard to see Criciúma not picking up at least a point in their own stadium. They only need to avoid defeat to Avaí to win the Double Chance bet, and we think they are more than up to the task.

👉 Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

It's hard to see too many goals in this match between Criciúma and Avaí given their lack of goalscoring ability.

That is why we project the total to go under 2.5 goals. So if 2 or fewer goals are scored, the bet wins.
