Corinthians vs Criciuma Prediction & Betting Tips (17 July)

Corinthians has been in difficulty since the launch of this 2024-2025 season and has only had 2 wins in 16 days. What if the 3rd victory came next Wednesday against a Criciuma team which has lost 4 of its last 5 away matches? Corinthians suffered a catastrophic away record: 0 wins, 2 draws, 7 defeats, while Raphael Laruccia's team has conceded only 1 defeat in 7 matches at the Neo Quimica Arena in Sao Paulo. Yuri Alberto's teammates 2 goals took 5 points in their last 3 receptions against Sao Paulo 2-2, ahead of Cuiaba 1-1 and against Vitoria 3-2 on July 5. A third success could allow Corinthians to leave this relegation zone.

Criciuma, 14th, could find himself 2 units behind his opponent of the day in the event of defeat on July 17. Arthur Caike's performances 3 goals and his team are poor away with 4 losses in their last 5 trips to Bahia 1-0, at Athletico-PR 3-1, to Sao Paulo 2- 1 and to Vitoria 2-1 on July 7. The draw in front of the red lantern Fluminense 1-1 this July 12 will not reassure the protégés of Claudio Tencati who have won only once in the last 5 days of Serie A.

When Criciuma come calling in the Serie A, the net tends to bulge at both ends of the pitch, with this being the case in ten of the Criciuma previous 12 away matches. Given that neither keeper has emerged with a clean sheet in 14 of the most recent 17 Corinthians home games in the league, it would come as a surprise were either team to draw a blank in this encounter.
