On top of that, their average goals scored away from home this season is just 0.94, and 1.2 across their last 10 away matches.

Corners Prediction
In 8 of CearΓ‘'s last 9 matches, the total corners line of over 9.5 has been cleared, pointing to a high level of corner activity from the teams involved. The run is long enough to be considered a reliable trend. A bet on Total Corners - Over 9.5 at odds of 1.98* therefore looks justified.

CearΓ‘ have scored fewer than 1.5 goals in five consecutive head-to-head matches against Juventude. Their average goals scored at home this season is 1.25, and 1.75 across their last 10 home matches. Despite the slight increase in the more recent home sample, the main trend and the season statistics point to a high probability that the hosts will not score more than one goal. The bet on CearΓ‘ Team Total - Under 1.5 at 1.33* therefore looks reliable.
