⭐ Editor's Pick
Goiás head into this clash as slight favourites, largely due to home advantage, but Ceará are hardly the kind of side to roll over without a fight. The visitors will be determined to get something from this fixture and are expected to put up a real battle, so a completely cagey affair seems unlikely. Notably, each of the last six head-to-head meetings between these teams have produced at least two goals. In this context, backing over 1.5 total goals appears to be a well-founded prediction.No comments
