Copa Sudamericana betting and spectator preview: Ceará and Independiente meet at Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 4900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Superliga. That game, against Barracas Central, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Independiente.

Ceará form and stats

Last season their Copa Sudamericana adventure ended in the group stage.

The story so far in the Serie A for Ceará at their home stadium (Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo) is 10 wins, 7 draws and 2 defeats.

The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus CRB last time out and are looking for a win here.

Before that match, a Copa do Nordeste win away at Campinense.

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 nine games) they have won five times, drawn two and lost two.

Ceará are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Palmeiras awaits in four days.

Ceará has scored 24 league goals at home this season, in 19 matches. Ceará are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 14 from 19 matches.

Independiente form and stats

Last season their Copa Sudamericana adventure ended in the 8th finals against Santos.

Independiente play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Barracas Central. Midfield player Romero was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.83/10. Romero served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 55 successful passes (of 67 total).

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

A quick return to home after this game, as Independiente are hosting Tigre in the Superliga only four days away.
