Struggling Ceará hope to pull off an upset when they host top side Internacional in the next league match. It’s 15th vs 4th and the home supporters will have low confidence.
- Ceará have the fewest points (4) at home in Serie A
- Internacional have won significantly less corners away then at home.
Internacional have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
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.
