Team News

Ceara
Chapecoense AF
  • Thiago Carleto sustained a groin injury and will join Richard, João Paulo and Alex Amado on the sidelines.
  • Samuel Xavier received his third yellow card of the season last time out and will miss out here. Fabinho could be pushed from the middle of the park to replace him, leaving room for William Oliveira to start.
  • Aside from this, coach Enderson Moreira should name the same starting XI that defeated Fortaleza last time out
  • Douglas, Rafael Pereira, Yann Rolim, Elicarlos, Thiago dos Santos and Vagner are all injured and will not feature on Saturday.
  • Everaldo received his third yellow card of the season and will not feature here. Henrique Almeida, who couldn't face Grêmio due to contractual reasons, will be fresh to replace Chape's main goalscorer.
  • Augusto César is enjoying a wonderful moment and will likely keep his place on starting XI.

Prediction

  • Ceará defeated rivals Fortaleza at the Clássico Rei and will be full of confidence here. They've only lost to Santos playing as hosts and have won every match at the Arena Castelão since the Copa America break.
  • Chapecoense earned a valuable 3-3 draw against Grêmio on Monday and their spirits will be lifted here. They will look to put an end to a seven-match winless streak.
  • The hosts are favourites to win but will face a confident side, which might keep them from securing victory.
