CRB hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 8 points and a 6th position in the Copa do Nordeste table. Visiting Ceará holds 3rd place with 11 pts.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
