This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie A, Ceará holding 14th place and Coritiba lying 18th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Cearense 1. That game was an away game at Fortaleza, so at least Ceará are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
These teams have little in common geographically as Coritiba have to travel 3400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Ceará faced defeat in their previous match, away at Fortaleza (0-1). A 2-2 draw away in the Serie A before that, with Fluminense the opponent.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Ceará have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won five times, drawn four and lost three.
There will be little rest for Ceará after this match as they are travelling to Santos for a Copa do Brasil game in only four days.
