Ceara take on the visitors Atletico Goianiense in the round 14 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, June 27th at Castelão (Fortaleza).
Ceara had a good streak, however, there were few victories on it. The Grandfather in this century mainly played at the level of the 2nd division of the country. Having got into Serie A in 2010, it turned out to hold out there for only 2 years in a row. It turned out to return in 2018, and this time it was already at the same time and managed to gain a foothold at this level. Last season, for example, it turned out to finish in 11th place. This opened up access to the Copa Sudamericana, where the Brazilians performed well, winning all 6 matches, including the Argentinean Independiente. There was an unbeaten streak in Serie A, but there were many draws, which keeps them at the bottom of the table. And at the Fortaleza in the Cup they completely lost, also with a score of 0-2 - do they sacrifice the tournament, or are they just in bad shape?

Atletico Goianiense in the last rounds was able to finally improve. "Dragon" is gradually mastered in Serie A. It is worth remembering that back in 2008 the team played at the level of the 3rd division of the country. Then there were 2 rather unsuccessful attempts to gain a foothold in Brasileirao. Now it’s getting better, last year, for example, they finished in 9th place. Like Ceara, the modest Brazilian club played successfully in the Copa Sudamericana - scored fewer points, 13, but that was enough to take 1st place and ticket to the playoffs. The team also improved in Serie A. They managed to win three times in the last 4 rounds of the championship. Then there was a duel in the cup, with Goias. And the derby ended in a goalless draw between these opponents.
In the season before last, the teams exchanged victories, both on the road. And in 2021, the clubs have drawn outcomes on both fields. Bookmakers quite confidently point to Ceara as the favorite of this meeting at the home arena. But both clubs are not in the best shape, so the bet on “under 2.5 goals" suggests itself.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
