Ceara vs Goias Prediction: Both Teams Having Inconsistent Track Record

In the upcoming fixture of the Brazil Serie A, Round 30, Ceara will take on Goias at the Arena Castelao in Fortaleza, Brazil. With Goias standing at the borderline Sudamericana qualification standings, we have a game to witness. According to the table standings of today, Ceara stands 16th with 6 wins and 31 points from 29 games played. On the other hand, the slight favorites, Goias, stands 12th with 9 wins and 37 points. With a very marginal points difference between the top 10 standings, we can still expect surprises as the league goes on.

Ceara - Lost Three Back to Back Games (LLLWD)

Going in the game, Ceara is coming off a defeat against Atletico MG (1-2), in which Ceara managed to score its only goal in the 94th minute of play. With a goal-scoring average of 0.9 goals per game, Ceara might not be prepared to face the counter-attack of Goias. Moreover, much will depend on Ceara’s team manager, who will be responsible for picking the best team and formation against Goias.
