Fortaleza vs Ceara Prediction: Can the Visitors Beat the Hosts Again?

One of the last 16 matches will be Fortaleza vs Ceara, the derby of Fortaleza. Note that the opponents have already played twice this season. Both matches turned out to be tied. So bookmakers believe that the Lion King has a better chance of winning.

In the last five games, Fortaleza won over America and Flamengo, drew with Atletico Paranaense and Goiás and lost to Avai. The statistics are not too bad, but the Tricolore are still sitting in the relegation zone, five points behind America, which is in 16th place. That said, Fortaleza's home stats are 18th in Brasileirao, with only one win in eight games, four draws and three losses and a goal difference of 4-6. Note the Tricolor's under stats in games at Castelao.

Ceará has not lost in a month and a half, since the failure against Atletico Paranaense on May 8. In June, the Black and White had two victories and four draws. The last three matches against Ceará ended in tie: 1:1 with Goiás and twice 0:0 with Atlético Mineiro and Cuiabá. The results are good. But if we look at the whole series, Ceará is outside even the South American Cup zone, behind Atletico Go in the secondary parameters. The upcoming match will be played at Castelao, the home stadium for Ceará, so we suggest paying attention to the home stats. In five matches, Ceara has three draws and two losses on a goal difference of 4:7.

This season, Fortaleza and Ceará have played twice and both matches ended with TU (2.5). So we expect un under cup match. Both teams at the Castelão have been unproductive recently, and the last six matches against Ceará have been draws. As for the outcome, we are on the visitors' side who regularly beat Fortaleza at home.
