📏 Form Guide

Ceará

DDWLWL ⚖

Ceará will be hoping to return to winning ways here following the 1-0 Serie A loss in their previous game against Bahia.

In that game, Ceará managed 35% possession and 10 shots on goal with 2 on target. For their opponents, Bahia had 13 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Éverton Ribeiro (104') was the scorer for Bahia.

It has been all too rare in recent times that Ceará have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Ceará have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 8 goals in the process.

Palmeiras

WWWWWW 🎯

Palmeiras will go into the match following on from a 2-3 Copa Libertadores win vs Bolívar in their last game.

In that match, Palmeiras managed 24% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 6 on target. For Palmeiras, the goalscorers were José Manuel López (19') and Maurício (73'). Bolivar got 19 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Fábio Gomes (56', 69') scored for Bolívar.

A series of steadfast showings from the Palmeiras defence has seen their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 4 from their previous 6 clashes overall. In that period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 11. That pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this match, of course.
