Ceará look forward to a new challenge on Thursday as they prepare for the Copa do Brasil showdown versus CRB.
All of our predictions, stats and the user poll for CRB v Ceará are shown below including the latest game odds.
CRB head into this fixture following on from a 0-0 Serie B drawn match against Amazonas.
In that game, CRB had 66% possession and 19 attempts at goal with 6 on target. On the other side, Amazonas had 7 shots at goal with 2 on target.
A recurring trait of recent CRB games is the number of nil scores.
From their previous 6 clashes before this one, in 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would've lost. Even so, we’ll just have to find out whether the trend will be replicated in this next match or not.
Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Mirassol in Serie B action, Ceará and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
In that match, Ceará managed 57% possession and 14 shots on goal with 4 on target. For Ceará, goals were scored by Janderson (67') and Aylon (69'). Mirassol got 15 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. Fernandinho (22') and Gabriel (42') scored for Mirassol.
The stats don’t lie, and Ceará have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 10 goals overall. Defensively, Ceará can certainly do much better.
The previous league match featuring these sides was Serie B match day 31 on 07/10/2023 when the final score was CRB 2-0 Ceará.
On that occasion, CRB had 52% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Their only player on the scoresheet was Anderson Leite (32').
Ceará got 17 attempts on goal with 3 on target.
The CRB boss Daniel Paulista will be grateful not to have any fitness worries at all coming into this match owing to a completely healthy group ready to go.
Owing to an otherwise full-strength group, there’s only the sole fitness problem for the Ceará manager Vágner Mancini to be concerned with. Fernando Miguel (Cruciate ligament injury) misses out for this game.
In this match, Ceará should be able to get a goal against this CRB side, although that possibly won’t quite be enough to prevent defeat.
Our selection here is for both teams to score in a 2-1 advantage for CRB at the end of the 90 minutes. It should be a decent one.
