Another interesting game in the Copa do Nordeste. Ceará is in the 1st position after playing zero matches. They welcome Vitória who are placed 2nd after zero games.

It's no vacation for neither Ceará nor Vitória 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.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Vitória, who are travelling more than 1100 kilometers to play this game.

Ceará form and stats

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Ceará handle that role? We have found eight games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are two wins, four draws and two defeats.

Disaster struck Ceará last season as they could not defend their status as a Serie A team. With 19 defeats from 38 games, and only 10 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Ceará are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W8 D6 L5.

Vitória form and stats

Vitória are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, three draws and three defeats. From a total of ten matches.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only two days as another away game awaits: The Baiano 1 trip to Atlanta.

A job perfectly done for Vitória last season as they secured promotion from Baiano 1. With a grand total of 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 1 were in away matches.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Ceará won three, Vitória won three and four draws. four games with over 2,5 goals, six matches with two goals or less.

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.
