Ceará and Goiás last met in July, when Goiás won 2-0 at home. Before that, the two teams had drawn several matches in a row, but this time Ceará come in as the team second in the table and are playing at home. Ceará are still unbeaten in the league this season, with 3 wins and 1 draw from 4 matches, scoring 7 and conceding 2, but their recent form is not all that satisfying, as they won only 1-0 in two matches before being held to a 2-2 draw in the latest game. Goiás, meanwhile, are in 10th place with 49 points from 34 matches; in their last five they have 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, but they are unbeaten in their last three, with the defence clearly tighter after conceding 0-3 early in the month. This game is likely to see Ceará as the side pushing forward, because they are at home and have the edge as the higher-placed team, while Goiás are likely to sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances, especially late in the game when Ceará often concede. If the hosts score first, the game will be much easier, but if they cannot break through, it could go down to the final seconds.
