RB Bragantino vs Criciúma Prediction: Bragantino must win

RB Bragantino and Criciúma will meet at the Nabizão in the final round of the Brasileirão. Both teams are at the lower end of the table, but only Bragantino can escape the drop to the Série B. Criciúma's relegation was confirmed in the previous round.

RB Bragantino

In Curitiba, the Massa Bruta fought to the end against Athletico Paranense and was rewarded with a vital 2-1 victory. The game was almost like a final, with two teams in danger of falling into the second division. Sasha was the hero, scoring both goals to help Red Bull finally get a win after twelve winless rounds. Bragantino has 41 points and remains in the Z4, but its chances of salvation have increased considerably. If Seabra's men beat Criciuma, they will escape relegation as Atlético Mineiro and Athletico Paranaense will be playing each other, and one of the teams will drop points. 

Criciúma

The Tiger needed at least a draw with Flamengo to keep the hope of avoiding relegation, but it wasn't strong enough. Criciúma lost 3-0, disappointing its loyal fans who have packed the stands of the Heriberto Hülse all season. It was precisely at home that the Catarinenses failed during the campaign. Five victories as hosts were insufficient. Cláudio Tencati's team played some pleasant football throughout the competition but lacked efficiency in scoring goals.

Expert Betting Tips

Bragantino has ended a long run of twelve games without a victory and still has a chance of escaping relegation. After winning against Athletico Paranaense, Red Bull must beat Criciúma to leave the relegation zone. Sasha's goal in the 82nd minute secured the most important triumph of the season, and now everything is possible. It all depends on the Massa Bruta players. If Bragantino doesn't win, it will meet Criciúma in the Série B next year. The Catarinenses lost at home to Flamengo and will return to the second division of Brazilian football. RB Bragantino can win but must control the anxiety. To prevent a possible draw, I'm betting on a Double Chance in favor of Red Bull with a maximum of three goals scored in the match.
