Team News

Criciuma
Juventude
  • Felipe Vizeu and Marquinhos Gabriel are doubts here.
  • Edson Carioca, Alan Ruschel and defender Danilo Boza miss out through injury.
  • The man behind Juve's promotion, Thiago Carpini left for Sao Paulo in January.
  • Roger Machado is the man who will lead the side in 2024.

Prediction

  • Criciúma come into this game having lifted the Caterinense state title last month. Last season, they finished third in Serie B which earned them promotion to the top flight. Their last season in Serie A came in 2014.
  • Juventude bounced back to the top flight at the first time of asking, following a second-place finish in Serie B. Juve will be eager for a much better showing in Serie A compared to 2022, where they won just three of their 38 matches.
  • Last weekend, they suffered a 3-1 loss to Gremio in the Gaucho State Championship Final.
  • When the sides met last year, Juve enjoyed two 1-0 wins, but a draw could be on the cards here.
