Competition: Brazil Serie A
Market: Both teams to score
Odds: 11/10 @ 888sport
In a battle between two sides who find themselves in the midst of a real purple patch, Ceara will host Fortaleza from behind closed doors late on Wednesday night.
Starting with the hosts, despite another worrying start to the new Serie A campaign and many feeling that they could be destined for another relegation scrap this time around, Ceara have certainly managed to bounce back in some style. Putting in what was a professional display away at Atlético GO last time out, Vozão landed a deserved 2-0 win and have only continued skyrocketing up the table heading into September. Also coming past second-tier Vitoria in the Copa do Nordeste last month thanks to what was a dramatic 4-3 victory on the road, Head Coach Guto Ferreira finds his side in the midst of a three-match winning run and really showing a new-found clinical edge in the final third. Breezing past Bahia thanks to a 2-0 win last time out on home soil, Ceara will be confident of cashing in on Wednesday night.
As for the visitors, continuing on their bright end to last year’s interrupted campaign, Fortaleza have really laid down a marker this time around and have their sights set on another Copa Libertadores finish. Once again impressing in what turned out to be a 3-0 romp against RB Bragantino last weekend, Rogério Ceni’s men are unbeaten in their last four Serie A appearances and much like Wednesday’s hosts, they too are enjoying a free-scoring run in the final third. Including another thumping 3-1 win when they made the trip to Goiás last month, we should be in for another lively contest out in Brazil in midweek. With each of the last three meetings between the two sides at the Castelão ending with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome between the two high-flyers.
Bet: Both teams to score at Ceara vs Fortaleza 11/10 for Wednesday’s Serie A showdown @ 888sport
