Ceará
LLWWLL
Ceará will be looking for an improved result here following the 1-2 Serie B loss in their previous game against Operário Ferroviário.
In that match, Ceará managed 53% possession and 20 shots on goal with 8 of them on target. At the other end, Operario Ferroviario had 9 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Gabriel Boschilia (54') was the scorer for Operário Ferroviário.
It’s not been often in recent times that Ceará have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Ceará have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 9 goals along the way.
Ahead of this meeting, Ceará haven't lost in the league to Avaí in their previous 2 matches.
Avaí
LDDLLL 📉
Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Criciuma in Serie B action, Avaí and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
In that game, Avaí managed 57% possession and 11 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. For their opponents, Criciuma got 16 shots on goal with 3 on target. Rómulo Otero (39') and Mateus (46') scored for Criciuma.
The stats don’t lie, and Avaí have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 11 goals in all. Defensively, Avaí could really do with shoring things up. We will just have to see if that trend can be continued on in this game.
Their previous form shows that Avaí:
- haven't beaten Ceará when having played them away from home in the previous 4 league games. Not good at all.
- haven’t won away from home in the past 3 league matches.
