Our prediction is: Ceará to win the 1st half
Ceará has been a strong home team overall this season, and the statistics point to them being particularly quick to pounce in the opening 45 minutes. Whether that aggressive mentality is due to the energy of the home crowd or an intentional plan on the part of the manager, it has proven to be very effective.
We foresee that plan paying off once again in their match against Ponte Preta, so our top tip is for Ceará to win the first half.
Our prediction is: Ceará win or draw
Going on the Double Chance market is a great way to get a much better shot at winning a bet. And our betting tip of taking Ceará or draw in the Double Chance market is about as close to a safe bet as there is.
Based on their impressive home form this season, it's hard to see Ceará not picking up at least a point in their own stadium. They only need to avoid defeat to Ponte Preta to win the Double Chance bet, and we think they are more than up to the task.
