Ceara vs Atletico Mineiro Predictions

• Both teams have found the back of the net in eight of the previous nine meetings.
• The hosts have opened the scoring in five of their last six matches.
• Both teams have scored in four of the visitors’ previous five games.

Ceará in search of their first home victory

For the hosts, home comforts are non-existent as they possess the worst home record in the division so far this campaign, in terms of points accrued, having secured just two points from their opening four home matches. To be fair to them, they have played a game or two less than most sides so the alarm bells should not be ringing just yet. They do however boast the division’s best away record. They’ll be welcoming Atlético Mineiro to Castelão and their fans will be desperate to see them claim their first home win of the season.

The visitors come into this one having lost their last away match against Fluminense and that defeat saw their 12-game unbeaten away run come to an end. The visitors currently occupy sixth place in the division and the final Copa Libertadores spot but with plenty of fixtures yet to come, the visitors will just want to continue adding points to their tally.

Goals at both ends likely

We see this being an interesting clash as the hosts look to improve their home record. The visitors are always competitive on the road and we expect them to be right up for this one. Both teams have scored with regularity when these two teams clash and we’re siding with that ringing true once again here.
