Avaí and Ceará meet often enough to be considered a well-known pairing, especially recently when Ceará have picked up wins more frequently, including the latest meeting that they won 2-1 back in June, and before that they also won 2-0 and 1-0. This time, though, Avaí get to play at home, and the table situation forces both sides to chase points in different ways. Avaí are in a spell where nothing is going their way. They have not won any of their last five and have lost their last two in a row, with the defence letting opponents shoot freely. Over the season they have scored 30 and conceded 41 in 30 matches. Ceará look steadier, unbeaten in three, but they have won only two of their last five, and their away games tend to see them concede more easily than they should. If Avaí settle at home and do not open up trading blows from the start, the game should be one of alternating spells of possession and end with a result that is not far apart, because the two teams are only six points apart and neither has looked clearly superior in recent form.
