The match
Matchday 14 of the Brasileirão sees two teams jostling for position in mid-table when hosts Ceará take on Atlético Goianiense at the Estadio Castelao in Fortaleza. Even on points in the standings with 16 each, Atlético GO just edge out their opponents for 12th-place due to having recorded more wins with a record of 4-4-5. Ceará’s record of 3-7-3 sees them sitting in 13th place but each club could potentially jump up a few positions with the full three points here. The hosts have made themselves a side that is tough to break down which has kept them competitive in the majority of their fixtures. Unfortunately for Vozão, they’ve lacked the cutting edge on the offensive side in many of their matches which has resulted in a league high seven draws. Ceará will be looking to respond with a win here after suffering a 2-0 away defeat to Fortaleza in the Brazilian Cup in their last outing, a result which snapped a 12 match unbeaten run across all competitions.
The visitors should be coming into this match in relatively high spirits given their recent surge of form. Atlético Goianiense were held to a scoreless draw at home by Goias in the Brazilian Cup on Wednesday but had previously won three of the last four fixtures in the Brasileirão. What has really stood out for Dragão in this recent run is their effectiveness going forward – they have created 15 clear cut chances in the last four league matches alone, with some stiff competition in the form of Palmeiras and Fluminese both away from home. Atlético GO look the much more dangerous side going forward and are playing the better football of the two teams in recent weeks. Ceará has now gone three consecutive matches failing to find the net and will need to kickstart their offense if they are to compete with their opponents potent attack.Key Statistics
- Atlético Goianiense have scored nine goals in their last four Brasileirão fixtures.
- Ceará are 0-3-2 at home in the league and have drawn seven of their last nine Brasileirão matches.
- Atlético GO are unbeaten in the last three meetings between the two sides, with the most recent ending in a 1-1 draw.

The bet of our experts
We’re going to back the visiting Atlético Goianiense on the double chance as our pick for this match. This price is a steal for the team in better form and playing better football. It shouldn’t be understated the impressiveness of the visitors’ last four matches in the league as they were able to record a 2-0 away victory against Fluminense and then followed that up by putting two past the leaders and league’s best defense in Palmeiras. This should be a close match between two fairly even teams with a 1-1 result looking the most likely, although it's definitely worth it to sprinkle a bit on the visitors to win this one outright.
