This duo has had problems getting enough points so far, but a win and three points in this important fixture would definitely be a big help. Let's hear it for Juventude - Ceará!

Insights:
  • Juventude have the most matches over the total-line (16) in Serie A
  • Ceará have the fewest points (7) away 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.

Ceará have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Juventude form and stats

The story so far in the Serie A for Juventude at their home stadium (Estádio Alfredo Jaconi) is 5 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats.

No payout for Juventude in their previous match, an away game at Gremio that ended in defeat 2-3. The talented striker Roberson bettered all teammates in that match and managed a match rating of 7.11 out of 10. Roberson scored one goal.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Flamengo.

This is expected to be a close game, with Juventude perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Juventude as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Juventude has won nine of these, drawn four and lost one.

The Juventude fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 13 matches. Juventude's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 14 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Ceará form and stats

Ceará have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 0-7-5 (12 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Ceará have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 13 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Ferroviario game.

Ceará might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Palmeiras proved too strong as Ceará slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo. Vina got a match rating of 7.34 in that game, top player of the team. Vina hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A draw for Ceará before that, at their own venue hosting Bragantino (2-2).

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Ceará playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were three Ceará wins, three draws and two defeats.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Serie A trip to Bahia.

The attacking power of Ceará when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 12 league matches away. 17 goals have been conceded by Ceará in these games.

Head 2 Head

The records show that this isn''t the first time these two sides meet on the pitch this season, as the results database show this recent fixture: Ceará - Juventude 2-0. Head to head data (for the preceeding seven meetings): Juventude won one game, three matches ended with a draw and Ceará have three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / five
