Ceará vs Avaí: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Fortaleza fought last year to stay in the country’s top division, but eventually finished seventeenth and were relegated. Now, they look like a mid-table second division team, with no more wins than losses. In the last round against Operário, they also failed to pick up points at home, finishing with a 1-2 defeat.
The team from Florianópolis finished ninth in 2025 with 56 points. This season, their results are even more modest—far fewer wins than losses. And those wins only came in the opening rounds; since then, they've managed only draws at best. In their previous match against Criciúma, there was another defeat—this time at home, ending 1-2.
The players who were in Serie A last season now average 1.09 goals scored per game and 1.18 conceded. Their next opponent manages just one goal per away match, while conceding 1.36.
