Football Bet of the Day: Brusque to be brushed aside

Criciuma v Brusque
Friday 23:00

The Lions of the Island roared in Brazil last night. Avai beat Fortaleza 3-2 to land our BTTS with something to spare.

We're staying in Brazil today for the second-tier match between sixth-placed Criciuma and 14th-placed Brusque. We fancy the hosts to get the job done.

Criciuma are W3-D2-L1 at Estadio Heriberto Hulse this season. Only league leaders Cruzeiro have left with all three points, and against teams outside the top four the Tigers are W3-D1-L0.

Brusque are way outside the top four, but they did notch their first away win of the season last time out - albeit against rock-bottom Vila Nova. Against anyone else, they've lost 5/5. Going back into last season, they've lost on 16 of their last 23 road trips. At evens or better, we'll take them to go down again tonight.
