Both teams are on the verge of the relegation zone, so this game is a direct battle for points to escape the difficult situation.
Ceará, after 21 rounds this season, has 6 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses, accumulating 25 points and ranking 16th. They've achieved 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in 11 home games, showing a certain level of combat - ability. The team mainly adopts a defensive - counterattack style, and they can often play more efficiently relying on the home - field advantage.
Recently, Ceará's form has improved. After a winless streak of 7 rounds, they defeated São Bernardo and Ponte Preta in the last two games, achieving two consecutive victories, which has significantly boosted their morale. However, overall, there are still obvious fluctuations in both offense and defense. The attacking end lacks a stable scoring option, and the defense sometimes shows a lack of concentration.
