Operario PR, on the other hand, has shown resilience in the Copa do Brasil, winning their recent matches. This victory against Criciúma continues their positive momentum.

Looking at the head-to-head history between Criciúma and Operario PR, the away team has often found success. This game fits that pattern. Operario PR's win could signal a shift in their performance this season, while Criciúma needs to address their defensive vulnerabilities if they hope to be competitive.
