REF’s picks

Criciuma hold the upper hand in recent head-to-head encounters and sit much higher in the standings, making them a solid choice here with the draw protected. Londrina have struggled to find defensive consistency despite occasional heavy wins, leaving them vulnerable against a promotion-chasing opponent.

1. 1Criciuma have won three of the last five meetings against Londrina without losing in that span.
2. 2The visitors are fighting for a top-four spot in the table, giving them stronger motivational incentives.
3. 3Londrina's leaky defense could easily concede first, which would immediately threaten this selection.
