NextGOAL tip: Ceará +0.25 · 3 stars
Athletic Club and Ceará meet in Serie B with just a single point separating them, the hosts on 44 points from 35 matches while the visitors follow on 43 points from the same number of games. This is therefore a match where both sides need points to keep their league situation from tightening further. The hosts have not won in 5 straight matches, and their latest outing was a 0-1 home defeat, while the visitors also come off a 0-2 loss. Before that, however, Ceará had picked up single-goal wins in two matches, so the two teams do not arrive in vastly different shape. Both are still struggling to find sharp finishing, and both defences still leave gaps for the opposition to exploit. The pattern is likely to be a game where the two sides trade possession and wait for mistakes at the back, rather than one where either team throws everything forward for the full 90 minutes. Given the condition of both, the match is more likely to end close than one-sided.
