Barbalha form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Barbalha's two home games in the Cearense 1 so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Estádio Antônio Lírio Callou. Barbalha has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager J. Severo and the players.

In their previous game, the manager J. Severo led his Barbalha to a defeat in the Cearense 1 match away at Fortaleza. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio Antônio Lírio Callou. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Uniclinic (0-3).

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Barbalha has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Ceará form and stats

Ceará are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 6 points in the bag from 2 travels in the Cearense 1. In general it has been a productive period now for Ceará as they haven't lost any of their last 13 games. Ceará has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Ceará goalkeeper Fernando Buttenbender Prass is eager to challenge this, with his 414 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

The supporters enjoyed Ceará's previous game versus Sport Recife, a Copa do Nordeste 2-1 win played at home. Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Vitoria in the Copa do Brasil.

A heroic performance from Ceará in their game against Sport Recife last time out. Things got complicated when Rafael Sóbis was sent off in the 86th minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 2-1 victory!

A quick return to home after this game, as Ceará are hosting Fortaleza in the Cearense 1 only three days away.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Ceará has managed 2 goals and let in 0 from 2 matches.

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.
