REF’s picks

Criciúma are in solid home form and face an Avaí side struggling near the relegation zone with a poor away record. Backing the hosts to take all three points at home looks like a sound choice.

1. 1Criciúma enjoy a strong home record with impressive defensive solidity at Estádio Heriberto Hülse.
2. 2Avaí come into this match on a dismal run of consecutive defeats on the road in Serie B.
3. 3However, Criciúma's attack can occasionally lack clinical edge, meaning a tight, low-scoring affair remains a distinct possibility.
