Greeting visitors in their own stadium is secure and friendly for Ceará, but Corinthians are fully set and capable to go home as winners. What happens?
- Ceará have yet to win a game at home.
- Corinthians have the fewest matches over the total-line (1) in Serie A
Corinthians have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
It's no vacation for neither Ceará nor Corinthians as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
