Cuiaba vs Ceara Predictions

• Each of Ceara’s last five games have featured under 2.5 goals.
• Cuiaba have seen fewer than three goals in four of their last five outings.
• The hosts have scored just nine goals in their 12 league games – only bottom club Fortaleza (seven) have scored fewer.

Goals unlikely in Cuiaba

Having won just one of their last seven games to sit 18^th in the Brazilian Serie A, Cuiaba require a result against a Ceara side unbeaten in their last 10 outings in all competitions on Saturday. However, the hosts’ dire attacking returns mean a tight affair looks likely, with chances likely to be at a premium.

Only rock-bottom Fortaleza (seven) have scored fewer than the nine goals managed by Cuiaba in their 12 league games so far this season, while Antonio Oliveira’s men have failed to score multiple goals in any of their last seven matches, and have done so just once in their last 17 games.

Ceara, meanwhile, have drawn four of their last six games, with each of their last five contests containing a maximum of two goals. Marquinhos Santos’ men have both scored and conceded 13 goals in Serie A so far this season, while five clean sheets in their last eight games demonstrates their defensive solidity.

Under 2.5 goals looks a strong play

With Cuiaba seeing under 2.5 goals in four of their last five games, a tense affair looks likely when a home side with poor attacking returns hosts a solid visiting outfit.

While we’re tipping under 2.5 goals to be scored, a 1-0 win for Ceara, whose last defeat came on May 7, looks a decent correct score prediction.
