Ceará SC vs Atlético PR - 17/07/2021
3635
The Brazilian Serie A season continues this weekend and on the 17th of July we have a meeting between Ceará SC and Atlético PR at the Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo.
The hosts begin the weekend in 11th place on 15 points while the visitors are in 5th place with 20 points to their name.
Ceará SC come into the match on the back of a 2-2 draw away against Cuiabá last weekend.
It was a disappointing result against a team currently in the relegation zone and Ceará SC conceded a 90th minute equaliser with the opposition having been down to 10 men for the whole of the second half.
That result means Ceará SC are on a run of 7 games without defeat and all 7 fixtures have come in Serie A.
However, they have been finding victories difficult to come by and Ceará SC have won only 2 of their last 12 matches in all competitions.
They have drawn 4 of their 5 most recent league games but have won 2 of their last 3 at home.
Trends show Ceará SC are unbeaten in 5 of their 6 most recent home Serie A matches and they have scored at least one goal in each of their last 7 home league games.
Atlético PR travel to the Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo having defeated América de Cali 1-0 away from home in the Round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana.
It was the first leg of the tie but puts the Brazilian club in a strong position ahead of the return game at home. That result means Atlético PR are undefeated in 5 of their last 6 matches in all competitions.
However, they have failed to win either of their 2 most recent Serie A games, drawing 2-2 at home with RB Bragantino following a 2-1 loss at Santos.
Away form in the league shows Atlético PR have won 3 of their last 5 matches, including a good 4-1 win at Fluminense.
Trends show in the last 23 consecutive Serie A matches, we have seen no losses at half time for Atlético PR.
They are undefeated in 14 of their last 17 Serie A games and in each of their last 7 matches in Serie A, Atlético PR have seen both teams score.
Looking ahead to the team news and Ceará SC have doubts over the fitness of Vinicius Machado, Gabriel Dias, Luiz Otávio, and João Ricardo. Vítor Jacaré is out with a knee injury.
Atlético PR are without Abner Vinicius and Santos who are on international duty. Lucas Halter is expected to be out for the season with a foot injury and manager António Oliveira is expected to make changes following the game in midweek.
Atlético PR are the favourites to win this game but it is going to be a tough assignment, especially following the match against América de Cali.
However, Ceará SC are struggling to win games and this one could end level, with both teams scoring.
