Criciuma vs Botafogo RJ Prediction & Betting Tips (22 June)

Just promoted to the elite, Criciuma will try this season to consolidate its place in D1 and not go down. It must be said, the acclimatization time is still underway, although he remains on a victory in the championship against an Atletico GO team also in difficulty 1-2 in the wake of its draw against the beautiful formation of Bahia 2-2 belonging to the City Group. Before that, the locals had recorded three consecutive defeats in the elite against Palmeiras 1-2, against Cuiaba at home 2-5 and against Athletico-Paranaense 3-1. Botafogo, club owned by the president of OL John Textor is showing his advantage at the start of the season with 1st place in the championship but only 2 steps ahead of Flamengo. Note however that, in all competitions, the Alvinegros have been undefeated since May 5, i.

e. 9 matches for a record of 6 victories and 3 draws. In the league, after a good series of three successive victories against Corinthians 0-1, Fluminense 1-0 and on the pitch of Gremio 1-2, they did not manage to pass the power four by stumbling against Athletico- Paranaense coming back to the score at the end of added time 98", 1-1.

Suspended during the previous day, the starting goalkeeper Gustavo and Eder (6 appearances) could both be eligible again for their coach. On the other hand, Venezuelan international defender Wilker Angel will defend the colors of his country during the Copa America while boys like Mateus (2 goals in 3 games), Vizeu (important) are injured and will probably miss the call. Not called up with Peru for the Copa America, Trauco is therefore enjoying the good days of this team and offered the 3 points by scoring the winning goal against Athletico GO, thus imitating Newton (on loan from Botago this season) first scorer of the game. Author of 3 goals since the start of the season, Matheusinho will probably be in the mix this evening.

Called to defend the colors of Venezuela at the Copa America, Jefferson Savarino (2 goals in 7 appearances) will logically be missing for this trip while Rafael (ex-Lyon), Marcal (1 league cap), Nascimento and Jeffinho (loaned by OL until the end of the calendar year) are injured and out this evening. However, there are still people to try to put Botafogo on the right track, in this case, Junior Santos and Danilo Barbosa (3 goals each in the league), and Bastos (2 pawns).
