Criciuma vs Vila Nova Prediction 09.06.2025 | Brasileiro Serie B

• Competition: Brasileiro Serie B
• Date: Tuesday, 9th, June 2025
• Kickoff: 23:00 UK / 00.00 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Heriberto Hulse (Criciuma)

Criciuma will be aiming to climb out of the relegation zone when they host mid-table dwellers Vila Nova at the Heriberto Hulse in Tuesday’s Brasileiro Serie B action.

Regardless being statistically inferior throughout the game, Criciuma showed more concretness in the final third and take all the spoils against basement-boys Paysandu thanks to a solitary second-half strike from Diego Goncalves, reducing the gap to safety to just one point.

Although Vila Nova’s momentum toward the promotion playoff spots stalled with a narrow home loss to Novorizontino, they are still well within reach of the upper-tier positions, trailing Coritiba by only four points in the ever-competitive race for elevation.

Criciuma vs Vila Nova Betting Tips > UNDER 2.5

Realistically, neither side offers much promise based on their recent forms, which is why we expect a tactically tight contest with almost imperceptible creativity and probably no clear excitement in front of goal. Criciuma finally found a coyly response to their recent scoring woes as a lone strike proved just enough to take down bottom-dwellers Paysandu last time out, effectively putting an end to a month-long goal drought that stretched across five scoreless fixtures. However, it’s impossible to overlook the fact that finding the back of the net has been a major struggle for Vila Nova in recent weeks, as they have been unable to make any impact on the scoreboard in their last three consecutive matches and in four of their previous five outings. As the icing on the cake, recent head-to-head clashes between these rivals have been dull and lifeless affairs with none of the last four matches seeing more than a single goal scored, and considering the current struggles up front for both sides, it’s easy to predict another low-scoring contest where a solitary goal might decide the outcome.
