Competition: Brazil Serie A
Date: Wed 04.December
Match begins: 22:30 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio Castelao (67000 seats)

Season ticket holders at Estadio Castelao haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Ceará languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Corinthians will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 3000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Relegation threatens Ceará who should definitely be looking for some points here. Corinthians are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Corinthians form and stats

Corinthians have only collected 16 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 3-7-8 (18 played). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Corinthians have lost on their last two travels.

Two away games in a row for Corinthians, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Atlético Mineiro in the Serie A. Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Avaí.

Corinthians goalkeeper Cássio had a great day against Atlético Mineiro, but despite making 7 saves the loss could not be avoided.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Fluminense in just four days.

The attacking power of Corinthians when travelling is not overwhelming with 16 goals scored from 18 league matches away. Corinthians have conceded 21 goals in these away matches.
