In the previous round against Ituano, Ceara ended a streak of 4 matches without a win, in a very effective way. With a 4-2 win, they reached 9th place in the table and are still very close to the top of the table. As many as 11 teams of the Brazilian Serie B form a group of teams where the difference between the 1st and 11th teams is only 4 points. It remains to be seen if Ceara has the quality to get involved in the fight for promotion, but this club has experience when it comes to Serie A.
Santos, one of the most successful not only Brazilian, but also world teams in history, has been at a low level in recent years. Relegation to Serie B is the peak of the crisis moment and only an express return to the elite would satisfy the fans of this famous club. So far it's going quite solid as Santos is second in the standings with only one point less than Avai. Away games are somewhat weaker in terms of results because Santos lost 4 out of 7 matches away from their stadium.
Ceara vs Santos pick: BOTH TO SCORE
These teams play much differently in Serie B than they did in the elite competition. Their matches are much more efficient, so Ceara has almost 3 goals per match on average. An average of 2.5 goals have been scored in Santos matches so far. In the previous match between these two teams, Ceara won 2-1. In the previous 2 matches of Ceara in Serie B, a total of 9 goals were scored. We expect goals on both sides, Santos is a dangerous team on the side and it could be 1-1 or 2-2 for example.
