22:30 Criciuma – Metropolitano

It is really difficult to compare these two teams, given the fact, that Criciuma Esporte Clube has a significant superiority in terms of quality and experience.

The hosts lost their place in Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A at the end of the last campaign, but most of the important players stayed in the club for the upcoming season, which makes Criciuma Esporte Clube one of the main contenders for the title in Campeonato Catarinense.

Clube Atletico Metropolitano, on the other hand, is a small club from the fourth level of the Brazilian football pyramid (Campeonato Brasileiro Serie D), with limited recourses and without big chances for further progress in this tournament.

In the matter of fact, the Greens won two points from the previous three rounds (0-2-1 2-4), but it happened against mediocre teams like Clube Nautico Marcilio Dias (1-1) and Internacional de Lages (1-1), while now this team will face an opponent with much bigger potential.

I doubt, that good team like Criciuma Esporte Clube will fail to win three points from this match.
