• haven't beaten Vitoria in their last 2 matches in the league.

The stats don’t lie, and Vitoria have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 6 goals overall. At the back, Vitoria have not been doing too well. Putting that to one side, time will tell whether the trend will be replicated in this upcoming match.

🗞️ Team News: Ceará

Bruno Tubarão (Thigh problems), Fernandinho (Shoulder injury), Luiz Otávio (Torn knee ligaments), Bruno (Hip flexor problems), Richard (Achilles tendon rupture) and Richardson (Heel spur) will not be taking part for Ceará gaffer Leo Condé.

We are thinking that Vovô could opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game, beginning the first half with Fernando Miguel, Fabiano, Marllon, Willian Machado, Matheus Bahia, Dieguinho, Fernando Sobral, Pedro Henrique, Lucas Mugni, Antonio Galeano and Pedro Raul.

We are inclined to think that Leão da Barra will likely begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting the game with Lucas Arcanjo, Claudinho, Lucas Halter, Zé Marcos, Jamerson, Pepê, Ronald, Erick, Matheuzinho, Gustavo Silva and Janderson.

✨ Prediction

We believe that Vitoria will likely create enough chances to find the back of the net against this Ceará outfit, however that might not be enough to prevent defeat.

We reckon that it will be a 2-1 winning margin for Ceará by the conclusion of the game. Should be a good one.
