Nautico plays host to Criciuma at the Estádio Eládio de Barros Carvalho for this match in the Brazilian Serie B. The home team are in 17th position with 14 points while the visitors are in 7th position with 19 points. Nautico are currently in the relegation zone but only on goal difference and need a win to help them move to safety. They have a dismal recent record and are without a win in their last four matches with two losses and two draws. Nautico have only won one of their last ten matches with five draws and four defeats. They are yet to win in the last five matches against Criciuma with four losses and a draw. Nautico will be looking to improve their defensive record which is currently the joint worst in the league. They will be keen to end their win drought at home as they have not won in their last five home matches.

Criciuma comes into this match on the back of a 1-0 win over Vila Nova which was their third win in their last four matches. This recent good run of form has seen them climb the table to within three points of the promotional playoff positions. Criciuma have been very good in front of goal as they have scored 15 goals this season which is the joint second highest goals tally in the league. They won their last away match but that was their first win on the road in eight matches. The biggest problem they have faced in away matches has been their poor defence on the road.
