Bitesize Prediction: Criciuma vs Vila Nova – 09/06/25

Competition: Serie B

Market: Both teams to score – No

Odds: 7/10 @ 1xBet

Hoping to secure consecutive Serie B victories on Monday night, Criciuma will welcome Vila Nova to the Heriberto Hulse.

Starting with the hosts, managing to claim what was an essential boost last week as they snatched a 1-0 victory away at Paysandu, Criciuma will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on. However, despite opening up the 2025 campaign with their sights set on securing an immediate top-flight return, Eduardo Baptista’s men have drastically failed to find any kind of stability. Opening Monday’s return to Santa Catarina sat in the relegation zone, the former Mirassol boss has seen his squad win just a pair of their previous nine appearances across all competitions. Watching their Copa do Brasil adventure come to a thumping end on May 23rd as they slumped to a 6-0 drumming at the hands of Bragantino, Criciuma have also failed to find any fluidity in the final third. In fact, Monday’s hosts have notched just a single strike in over 500 minutes of action.

As for the visitors, putting in another toothless performance last time out as they signed off May with a 1-0 loss at home against Novorizontino, Vila Nova find themselves in an almost identical position to Monday’s opponents. Watching their own respective Copa do Brasil adventure come to an end on May 22nd as they slumped to a 3-0 defeat against Cruzeiro, Rafael Lacerda’s side have lost their previous three appearances across all competitions. Likewise, including another 1-0 loss against Cuiaba last month, the Goias-based outfit have also shown their own extended struggles in the final third. In fact, along with drawing a blank in all of their last three consecutive defeats, they have also failed to win the net in four of their previous five outings. In what should be a cagey Serie B showdown late on Monday night, chances could come at a here.
