Criciúma vs Flamengo Prediction: Criciúma needs a miracle

Criciúma's situation is very complicated, and the club's fate will be in the Série B if it fails to win any of the two remaining games. The Coalmen are two points behind Fluminense, the first team out of the relegation zone, but with two draws in the last few rounds, they will lose the tie-breaker based on the number of victories. The Tiger must win at least one match, either against Flamengo at home or against Bragantino on the road.

Criciúma

The Catarinenses hosted Corinthians in the last round, losing a game they couldn't afford to lose. The Timão started better, creating several chances, but the first half's star was Bolasie, who scored two goals for Criciúma. However, the Paulistas played a superb second half and won 4-2. The defeat is disheartening for Criciúma, which needs a miracle to avoid relegation. The Tiger must get a good result against Flamengo. A defeat will drastically reduce Tencati's team's chances of salvation.

Flamengo

The Scarlet-Black beat Internacional 3-2 at the Maracanã and climbed to third in the table. Internacional was in third place and hadn't lost in 16 games, so it was a good result for Flamengo, who was already 3-0 up at half-time. The Gaúchos reacted in the second half and scored twice, but the win didn't slip away from the Mengão. The Cariocas have already qualified for the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, and their target is to finish in third place. The Vulture will fly to Criciúma to win another game.

Expert Betting Tips

Criciúma desperately needs a win to get out of the relegation zone, but the next opponent is the mighty Flamengo. In the last round, the Catarinenses made many mistakes in defense and lost 4-2 at home to Corinthians after being in the lead. Flamengo is fighting to finish in third place and beat Internacional 3-2 at the Maracanã, a team that hadn't lost in 16 games. I do not doubt that the Tiger will be fighting for salvation, but I'm betting on a Double Chance in favor of Flamengo with a minimum of two goals scored in the match.
