Ceara hosts Cuiaba in round 30 of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, November 8th at Castelão (Fortaleza)
Thanks to five points scored in the last three rounds, Ceara finally got rid of the status of obvious outsiders. The whole struggle for survival is still ahead, but the Black and Whites are taking steps in the right direction. The change in the formation with six defensive players gives certain results. Now Ceara is no longer the fun team that can score three but concedes five goals. The victory over Fluminense clearly illustrates the reliability of the hosts in the defensive line. Ceara played almost the entire match in the minority but conceded only a goal from an offside position.

Despite its instability, Cuiaba is definitely the revelation of the current season. Modest by all standards, the Green-Golds are very reluctant to lose in the second part of the championship. At the end of October, Jorginho's charges were close to taking points from the championship leader, but Hulk did not allow doing this. In the first round, Cuiaba shared points with Ceara, having equalized the score in added time by the referee. Nevertheless, the results of the Green-Golds on foreign pitches hint at possible revenge on their part.
In mid-July, Cuiaba won back at home with ten men. It is somewhat reminiscent of the last match with the participation of Ceara. Both teams really deserve each other. In comparison with the summer segment of the season, the opponents have significantly stepped up according to statistics. This is especially noticeable in the progress of players from Fortaleza. At home, Ceara is losing as reluctantly as Cuiaba does it away. The bet on a draw suggests itself. As for me, not only teams of equal strength will cross paths on the field, but also very close ones in terms of the vision of football.
Prediction for the match: Draw
