Corinthians will host Criciuma at the Neo Quimica Arena on Tuesday in another round of the 2024 Brasileirao Serie A campaign. The home side have endured a poor start to their league season and currently find themselves in the drop zone, prompting the dismissal of head coach Antonio Oliveira less than five months into his stint in charge.
They were beaten 2-0 by Vasco da Gama in their last league outing and could have no real complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target in the opposition box throughout the match.
Criciuma have had their struggles in the top flight this season but continue their fight to avoid the drop. They played out a 1-1 draw against struggling Fluminense last time out, with Matheusinho opening the scoring early after the restart before their opponents leveled the scores late in the game.
The visitors sit 14th in the league table with 17 points picked up so far and will be looking to add to that tally come Tuesday.
