Competition: Brazil Serie A
Date: Sat 30.November

Venue: Estadio Castelao (67000 seats)

The visiting Athletico PR side should be favourites in this visit to Ceara, as the away team holds a 22 point advantage from their 35 league games this season.

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 Athletico PR.

Athletico PR have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Ceará are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Athletico PR are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Ceará form and stats

Overall Serie A stats at home this season for Ceará are 8-5-4 (wins-draw-losses).

In their previous game, the manager Adilson Batista led his Ceará to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Flamengo. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Castelao. Before that, Ceará drew at home versus São Paulo.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Ceará have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won 5 Drawn 3 Lost 2.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Ceará as they have a new game in only four days, a Serie A match thankfully also at home. Corinthians are visiting.

The Ceará fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 17 matches. Ceará have only conceded 12 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
