A story of highs and lows for these teams so far this campaign, situated in positions near the midsection of the Serie A table. Here's the Ceará - Cuiabá latest:

Insights:
  • Ceará have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Cuiabá have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (9) in Serie A

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Serie A game only three days ago.

These teams have little in common geographically as Cuiabá have to travel 3000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Ceará form and stats

7-6-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Ceará so far this season.

Ceará's previous game was a Serie A match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Fluminense (placed 8th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Bruno Pacheco was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.62 out of 10. The defender Pacheco won 2 of 3 duels.

A 1-1 draw away before that, with Bahia the opponent.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Ceará handle that role? We have found nine games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are five wins, two draws and two defeats.

The manager T. Retzalff Nunes will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Atletico PR in only three days.

The Ceará fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 15 matches. From these home matches, Ceará have conceded only 12 goals.

Cuiabá form and stats

The visitors are W3-D9-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Cuiabá goalkeeper Walter Leandro Capeloza Artune is eager to challenge this, with his 225 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Cuiabá's last game was the home draw against Chapecoense (0-0). João Lucas, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.35. Lucas hit one key pass and won 7 of 8 duels.

Before that, Cuiabá secured a home win against Bragantino with the score 1-0.

We have checked recent matches where Cuiabá have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were one victory, two draws and two defeats.

The attacking power of Cuiabá when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 14 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (11 so far).

Head 2 Head

This isn't the first time these teams meet this campaign, as the records show this recent fixture: Cuiabá - Ceará 2-2. Data for the previous two meetings between these two squads are: one win for Ceará, one draw and zero wins for Cuiabá. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.
