Ceara are going through a shaky run and their elimination from Copa Sudamericana was quite expected. They start off their Brazilian Serie A campaign at home to Gremio hoping to break the poor run they’ve had in this fixture. Ceara finished last season in 11th place with 52 points and this time they should target higher. They are coming from a loss to Bolivian side Jorge Wilstermann in Copa Sudamericana, which cost them a place at the top of the group. There’s some positives though; the hosts may have failed to win in their last two matches, but they have three clean sheets in the last four matches. Ceara have managed one win and four losses in the last seven meetings against Gremio.

Gremio are in a much better place; they topped their Copa Sudamericana group and will be advancing in the competition. Last season in Serie A, they finished sixth with 59 points and will be gunning for a good start and a higher finish this season. Heading to this game they are unbeaten in 13 matches and with a dominant run over Ceara, they will be favorites even as they play away from home. In their last game before the league kickoff, they drew 0-0 with Colombian side La Equidad in Copa Sudamericana. That was just one of their low scoring outings; they’ve managed to score more than a goal in nine of their last 11 matches, which has also increased the goal tally in their matches – five of the last six producing over 2.5 goals. Gremio have done well on the road, with five wins in their last six; that draw with La Equidad broke their run of five straight away wins.
