Vitória get ready to welcome Ceará for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa do Brasil 3rd Round leg 1 of 2.
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 Vitória and Ceará.
Ceará have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Vitória form and stats
Vitória have reached this Copa do Brasil stage through battling and winning against Imperatriz and Lagarto. Last season, Vitória's Copa do Brasil journey ended in the 1st round.Only two Serie B home games for Vitória so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat. On the other hand, in the Copa do Brasil, Vitória has performed like this (both home and away): 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss. The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as Vitória has four draws from their last four matches.
Vitória manager B. Marques Fernandes Pivetti and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus CRB in the Serie B. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Nautico that ended 0-0.
Late drama in the game against CRB as Vitória were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Marcelinho popped out and made it level in the 90th minute. The hometeam coach B. Marques Fernandes Pivetti made a successful contribution in the game against CRB, bringing on Marcelinho who scored the equalizer in the 2-2 draw.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie B game versus Paraná in only three days. This game is also played here at Estádio Manoel Barradas.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Vitória at home in the league. 1 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Ceará form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Oeste and Bragantino PA in order to reach 3rd Round of Copa do Brasil. Ceará was sent out of Copa do Brasil in the 3rd round last season, when Corinthians turned out to be too strong.No Serie A points yet away for Ceará, from their first 2 matches. Total Copa do Brasil statistics for Ceará: 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Ceará are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
