On the 7th of May, Ceará and Athletico PR will play a match in Curitiba in a meeting of these two evenly matched Serie A teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which is great football weather. Athletico PR sits at 17th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-1 loss against América Mineiro. Juan Pablo Ramírez struck first for América Mineiro in the 75th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Athletico PR was frustrated by América Mineiro’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. América Mineiro ended the match with the shutout victory. Athletico PR looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while 15th placed Ceará is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Bragantino. Oliveira dos Santos struck first for Bragantino in the 17th minute on a feed from Hyoran, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Ceará couldn’t muster any offence and Bragantino ran away with the shutout win. Ceará looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
Vinícius Machado has been the most effective weapon for Ceará lately. The Brazilian goalkeeper has netted 3 goals in his last 5 matches. Both Vitor Bueno and Marlos have been the hottest scorers for Athletico PR in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals each.
