Ceara vs Atletico GO Predictions

• Each of Ceara’s last seven games have contained under 2.5 goals.
• Atletico Goianiense have seen under 2.5 goals scored in nine of their last 12 contests.
• Ceara have netted just four times in their five home Serie A games, conceding seven times.

Low-scoring affair looks likely in Fortaleza

Separated by just goal difference 13 games into the Brazilian Serie A campaign, mid-table outfits Ceara and Atletico Goianiense are both within just two points of either the top six or the bottom four, making their contest in Fortaleza an important one, and it looks likely to be tight.

Ceara are on a superb run of form in the league, going unbeaten in nine contests, and only saw a wider 11-match sequence without a loss ended by rivals Fortaleza in the Brazilian Cup this week. Marquinhos Santos’ men have built that form on a strong defensive record, with each of their last seven games containing under 2.5 goals. Indeed, the hosts have kept four clean sheets in their last six league games and only two teams have conceded fewer than their 13 Serie A goals against.

Visitors Atletico Goianiense, however, are also in decent form after winning three of their last four league games, only losing to table-topping Palmeiras in that time. They have also had a strong run of defensive form in recent weeks, seeing nine of their last 12 games, in all competitions, feature under 2.5 goals, including five of their last six on the road.

Under 2.5 goals the play for hard-to-call contest

With both sides in decent form but Ceara, remarkably given their good form, yet to win a home league game in 2022, punters may be best advised to steer clear of the win markets and back under 2.5 goals to be scored in a game featuring two in-form backlines.

Meanwhile, Ceara have drawn each of their last three home league games and four of their last five matches overall, so a 1-1 stalemate could be a decent correct score prediction.
