Player to watch: Isidro Pitta
25-year-old striker Pitta is the player to watch in our key Cuiaba vs Criciuma prediction, as he is one of the few good performers for the home side. With seven league goals since the start of the season, Pitta is perhaps the only reason why Cuiaba aren’t at the bottom of the table.
Second player to watch: Denilson
Denilson of Cuiaba is the top creator on the team. He aided teammates with three assists since the start of the season and we are sure he is eager to add another one to his tally.
