Cuiaba are still in search of their opening win in the Brazilian Serie A after eight matches. They will hope to get it when they get to host Ceara, who themselves have three wins but have played two more games. Going to this game, Cuiaba are placed 18th with five points while Ceara are ninth with 14 points. Cuiaba have scored five goals so far in the season, only bottom side Gremio have scored lesser. They’ve scored three goals in five matches, failed to score in three of their last four and conceded two goals in two of the last five matches. At home, they have two straight losses and haven’t scored in the matches. In the three home league matches, they’ve conceded five goals and scored two.

This is the first time ever that these two sides meet in Serie A; the last time they met was in the Brazilian Cup in 2011 and Ceara won 2-0 then. Ceara have managed three wins in their 10 Serie A matches this season and going to this game they are unbeaten in the last six matches. Ahead of this game they have clean sheets in their last three matches though they’ve failed to score in two of the last five. Twice in the last five they’ve scored two goals and though they are struggling away from home, this isn’t a game that should trouble them. Ceara have no away win in the league this season, but they have drawn each of the last four.
