Getting nearer the top sides is at stake when these two mid-table sides do battle. Both are targeting to strenghten their league table position, Maracanã in 4th and Pacajus in 3rd position.

Insights:
  • Maracanã have the fewest matches under the total-line (1) in Cearense 1
  • Maracanã have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Pacajus have scored away.

It's no vacation for neither Maracanã nor Pacajus as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

There are 26 state football leagues in Brazil. Because of long distances in Brazil a very competitive football culture developed within each state. Therefore, Brazil remain one of the few countries who still run state championships alongside the national ones. Most of them run from January to May, outside the national season.
