Another interesting game in the Serie A. Internacional is in the 14th position after playing four matches. They welcome Ceará who are placed 12th after four games.
It's no vacation for neither Internacional nor Ceará 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.
It's quite the trip for Ceará when visiting Internacional as the cities are 4100 kilometers apart.
Internacional form and stats
Two Serie A home games so far for Internacional, who are yet to win here at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda. Only 1 point so far.
Internacional's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Atletico Mineiro (placed 3rd). Midfielder Edenilson was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.03 (out of ten) in that game. Edenilson hit one key pass and had 54 successful passes (of 60 total).
In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Bahia.The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Internacional matches with similar probabilities have ended with six wins, one draw and zero defeats (from seven games).
The manager M. Ramírez will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Chapecoense in only four days.
At Estádio José Pinheiro Borda, Internacional has the goal stats of 2-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Ceará form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Serie A for Ceará with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.
Ceará failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Bahia (placed 7th) that ended with defeat 1-2. Klaus was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.12. The defender Klaus won 8 of 12 duels.
Before that, Ceará travelled to Chapecoense and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Ceará playing away, we found four games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and three home wins.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Atletico Mineiro in just four days.
Ceará have the goal stats of 1-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Internacional victories, one draw and four Ceará wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, eight matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
