It's the first game of the new season for Ceará and Frei Paulistano. The canvas is blank, the possibilities endless.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Sergipano. That game, against Dorense, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Frei Paulistano.

Ceará form and stats

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.

Frei Paulistano form and stats

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Frei Paulistano manager G. Nascimento as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against America de Pedrinhas.

A job perfectly done for Frei Paulistano last season as they secured promotion from Sergipano. With a grand total of 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 2 were in away 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.
