The Cearense 1 season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Ceará and Crato promises to be an interesting one.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ceará and Crato.
Ceará form and stats
Ceará have collected 1 point from their Cearense 1 home games so far after 0-1-0. Ceará haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Ferroviario, 57 days ago.
The home team returns to Estádio Alcides Santos after being equal after 90 minutes with Bolivar on their last time out; the Copa Sudamericana game ended 0-0. Before that, Ceará drew at home versus Pacajus.
Jael felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Bolivar as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 60th minute.
The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Ceará home games with this odds we find five games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in five wins, zero draws and zero defeats. Looking at the victories, three matches were won by at least two goals.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Ceará as they have a new game in only two days, a Copa do Nordeste match thankfully also at home. Bahia are visiting.
Early season league goal statistics from Ceará's 1 home game: 1 goal, 1 conceded.
Crato form and stats
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Ferroviario was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Crato played away with similar odds. This revealed one game. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected one time.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Cearense 1 trip to Uniclinic.
Head 2 Head
As for the last seven games between these two teams, there's six Ceará victories, one draw and zero Crato wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.Ceará missing players
